Anybody else have a backyard pool??
I'm going friggin nuts with this thing. I spend like, 2 hours a day cleaning it...adding clorine and all the other crap. But the water is still so cloudy you can't see the bottom.
How the hell do you clean up the water????
I tried shocking it twice.. adding clorine, clarifier, algacide.
Now I'm heading out to Canadian Tire to get more junk....
It's costing me a fortune.
Maintaining a friggin pool
# 1

Im a lifeguard. So I deal with larger pools. but luckilly, its easier to work with, because of the pumps and stuff.
sounds like your filter isnt working very well. play with your pump.
oh, and dont play in the water after shocking it. :D

AS long as you keep the filter going and get one of those floating chlorine dispensers (you put a solid capsule inside every so often) you should be good. That what I did with my old pool and the water stayed clean and clear. Also, covering it up when not in use might help.

Your in luck I work in a water lab, First adjust the PH to 7.2 Then add about a pound of stablizer this will cause the water to hold the hypoclorite longer if you already put in algacide & clairifer thats ok once the PH is 7.2 and Stablizer has been in for about 3 to 4 hours Shock again and it will take about 2 or 3 days to clear up Good luck. YOU MUST AT ALL TIMES KEEP THE WATER BALANCED. :D

Red food coloring and a Mars bar is the cure for anything. This one time I was asked to conjure up a demon from the spirit world Alakamucajina. So, I go grab a mars bar and some red food coloring... eat half the mars bar... feed the other half to my lil' buddy (the squirel)... poured 1/4 teaspoon of the red food coloring into the toilet... took a dump in the same toilet because the mars bar upset my stomach.... tried to flush the toilet, but the beast just was not going down... So, I called my friend into the bathroom, to show him this amazingly huge... uhm.. you get the picture... Anyway, he comes in there (he's the one who asked me to conjure up the demon from the spirit world Alakimonodragon) and starts freaking out screaming, after looking in the toilet, "OMG you really were able to conjure up a demon from the spirit world Alakubimpkatoto!!!" :eek:
