The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

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:
