    GOOD Question!?
  • How to do I Kill Green Algae?  Double Shock the pool (2 lb. of CHLORINE Shock per 10,000 gallons)  Run the filter until the pool clears!  Chlorine Kills Algae!
  • How to do I clear Cloudy Water? Check the chlorine level, if low shock the pool.  Once you have shocked the pool and it is still not clearing up, use a Clarifier to help pull the small particles together.  You should also check your filter to see if it needs to be cleaned, backwashed, or sand changed.
  • I have a brown sandy substance on the bottom of my pool that puffs up when I try to vacuum.You probably have mustard algae.  Mustard Algae is not killed by chlorine.  You must you a special based killer to destroy the mustard algae so your filter can pull it out.
  • I have trouble maintaining a chlorine residual.Shock the pool. If you still have trouble, bring your water into Poolmart for a Cyanuric Acid  test.  The water test will help determine why your chlorine keeps dropping.
