Why would clear pool water turn green after adjusting the pH and alkaline and shocking it according to the pool store's directions?
You need to put an algicide in your water. If there is metal in
the water, the metal will react with the chlorine shock and turn
green or brown. Certain areas of the country have naturally high
levels of metal in the groundwater, so that you will have to use a
chelating agent every time top off your pool.

Asked in Dreams and Dream Interpretation
What does it mean to dream about clear water?
Very generally, an image of clear water is very positive. It
could mean that you expect a clear course ahead of you without
interference or problems. Or it could refer to your clear
understanding of what needs to be done. A more specific
interpretation depends on many other variable that might apply to
water. A glass of clear water would imply ingesting that clarity,
while a bathtub or pool of clear water would imply immersing
yourself in clarity.

Asked in Car Electronics and Lights
Can a person get an electric from an arc or shot in a car's wiring while in the car?
If you are talking about 12 volts dc, then NO, there is not
enough voltage to shock you. Actually, it would take about 40 or
more volts to start to get a shock. Of course, standing in water
would make the voltages less. Even standing in water, 12 volts is
not enough to shock you.

What can one do with a water hammer arrestor?
One would use a water hammer arrestor in their home's water

hammer arrestor provides the air needed for shock absorption.
