I turned my pool water whiteI just turned my pool water white, by accident, of course, because I put too much PH balancer in at the same time as my shock-it. Apparently you are supposed to wait at least 2 hrs after the shock-it. I'm having to replace 1/2 my water with fresh, and am pumping just air into it. It's clearing a little, but this looks like it's going to take a few days. When I test it, my pH it perfect but I don't show any br or chlor, at all, after 2 bags of shock-it. Great start to a hot summer, huh? Shock-it has no chlorine. next time you shock your pool be sure to usechlorine chlorine tabs or granules to maintain the chlorine levels.

Wack a load of chlorine in it, pronto! This is the beginning of bacteria about to breed at an exponential rate. Leave the pool for a few days and then run the pump and filter until it clears. You have some residue on the pool floor which will need removing.

Shock it; and get some algaecide and use the maximum dosage recommended. Brush thoroughly and vacuum 24 hours later.

If it's not a ton better the next day, do another does of algaecide.
