Question I just read you post to stepanie. My pool is gree too.. I've just poured 2 bags of shock and 5 gallons of clor in the pool (but just read to do it at night) it's 8am? How much should I add tonight and not run the filter?
Answer The idea is that sunlight eats up your chlorine,you get a better more effective shock.When dealing with algae it is important.You did read that if you see no reason for algae,you've been keeping your pool up and it is a blue/green it is probably metals causing it.Use a metal remover.Chlorine needs to be near 0 to work.Lynn
