Hth Pool Chemicals
how to clean dirty brown water from my pool and keep it out?
i filled my above ground pool and added the chemicals it calls for from hth pools and now the water is cloudy and a dirty brownish color any help would be greatful—-thanks
try shock and flock? The ‘shock’ is chlorine. The ‘flock’ is floculant. It groups together and weighs down the particles to light to sink to the bottom. Then you just vacuum it up. I think even walmart sells a 7 in 1 bag of the stuff for pretty cheap.
If this doesn’t do it, take about 3/4 gallon of your pool water in a freezer bag to any pool supply store. They will analyze it and tell you exactly what you need and how much to fix the problem. (no charge for the analysis).

pool chemical question?
if my pool is really low on chlorine do i add tablets or a powder form or what
Depending on the size of the pool you can use regular household bleach to get your chlorine levels boosted quickly. Just make sure it’s non-scented.
If your pool is 10,000 gallons or more you can add 1 gallon of bleach for each 10,000 gallons. 5,000-10,000 add in 1/2 gallon. Less than 5,000 add in 1/4 gallon. In a kiddie pool add in 2 cups.
These levels will raise your free chlorine levels by 5ppm +/- 1ppm. However it will also raise the pH of the water some so be aware that you may need to make adjustments afterwards.
Feel free to drop me a line at robandliz1992@yahoo.com for more personalized help. Please include the gallons of the pool, filtration system, chlorination system, readings for: free chlorine, total chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness, and cyanuric acid.
