Oh boy... guess I'll have to exchange it for the real deal... I need another gallon anyways for my borate operations. LOL

So this morning... the bane of my existence has returned. I had small amounts of algae on the bottom of the pool near the walls. Basically where the seam is on these intex type pools...

I'm really at a loss here... FC level is still coming down from 30. I'm at 12. I have still kept adding bleach just to be on the safe side. Other folks are telling me that it may not be algae that it could be pollen.

We have had lots of rain, maybe it's washing off the surrounding trees and collecting on the bottom, I do not know.

I had to drain off waste during a bad rain the other night, so I'm betting my CYA is down to around 30 now. I am tempted to get some powdered shock and see if that will help?

Otherwise, I'm just going to keep my FC high, and keep brushing...
