Same here! Happy 4th to everyone! We're staying partying here, staying off the water! (well, not entirely, we'll be in the pool........)
Hey! That brings sumpin up! Who's a pool guy??? I gotta know this! People plan to party here tomorrow!
Thought I had a handle on this pool thing over the last couple years, but apparently, I'm wrong, and Leslie's is only interested in selling me worthless crap!
Saturday, shallow end started to look a little green (water tested fine, but I'm an idiot), so I swept it down good, shocked it with 4 bags (30,000 gallon), turned the pump on all day/night. Seemed fine later. Sunday morning, looked about the same, so I threw half a quart bottle of Copper Algeacide in as well as another 4 bags of shock and turned the pump on......again........left it run all night, Monday, looked better, took a sample to Leslie they sold me a half gallon of this "pool Bright" said put 2 cups in, and I did. But was at the shop most of the day...........yesterday..........looked just as bad......So today, this morning, well, looked like a septic tank in there! Noone other than me occasionally has been in it in 2 months.
So I got pissed off today and absolutely nuked it! I put in a full 5 gallon bucket of shock (43 lbs), a half gallon of copper algea killer, and a half gallon of this "pool brite" PH balance stuff. It's been running non-stop since 10 this morning, looking blue, starting to clear up (I can see the bottom kinda), but gotta go to the garage or out front to have a smoke because the chlorine fumes even on the patio burn my eyes............ I''d step in but I think it might eat my flesh at this point.........
What do I do now? ;D

Hook a hose to the pump and drain that swamp in into the street in the middle of the night (when you neighbors are asleep). Then just fill it with clean/new water. :-X >:D

Not entirely bad advice. If you filled your filter full of algae, backwash it or pull the element or whatever you do, and quit running your water thru a dirty filter. Really Ray? :sly:

Tell everyone that you really wanted to go to Lake Elsinore but decided that the drive was too much, soo you brought Lake Elsinore to AZ. :banghead:
;D
