We have the pump running low and will leave it on 24/7, we bought several gallons of bleach at Walmart for $1 each and have stocked up so we can add the 3 gallons at night,(I tried to tell hubby any treatment has to be done at night or the sun will just delete it, I think that was half the problem but he wont listen to me) we did the muriatic acid last night (another mistake we made not adding it when we added water to the pool or when it rained).

My husband now understands that living in Texas like we do we have to add water a lot and recently we have actually had rain that hit the ground so we need to use the muriatic acid more often.

We will do what you said and get back to you and let you know.

Thanks for this forum, you sure are life savers, I need my pool for physical therapy and I sure miss having the convenience of going to my backyard to do that as I have to use a public pool and who knows what germs we are getting on us there!!!
