If you have shocked added soda algaecide and clarifier to an 18x36 inground pool and my water is still cloudy and light green what now?
When you get desperate the thing to do is flocculate.
# Get a good flocculant from the pool shop # stop the Filter and set it to waste # Cast the flocculant over the surface of the pool # Let the whole lot settle for 2 days without running the filtration system. # After a couple of days you will note that the water has cleared up however there is a layer of cloudy looking water at the bottom of the pool. # Gently lower the hand pool vacuum into it and vacuum it carefully to waste try not to stir it up too much and definitely do not put i through the filter. # You may have to do this again however it is unlikely.
# when all of the crap of the bottom is gone stop the pump turn it to rinse for 30 seconds with the pump running then stop the pump again and return the unit back to filter position.
# Done your water should now be clear again and you will have lost up to a foot of water.
