Thank you for the great information. We normally pay about $150 a week for pool maintenance and I am looking for ways to save.

Hi I’m having such issues right now with my pool I can’t get it clear up. The previous owners really didn’t take care of it and when they left they told us the stuff was in then shed and to our surprise everything that pertained to our pool was thrown at the back of the shed now we have no cover to the pool skimmer basket so vacuuming has been a problem as the pool supply stores have no idea what make and model our skimmer basket is to be able to give us a replacement vacuum cover and it smaller than most standard models. I think that’s one of the biggest problems I’m facing right now and my water keeps getting green again. I’m ready to close my pool before I can even use it… help

I use a tablespoon of dissolved copper sulfate in my pool. Started 4 years ago. I only use chlorine. Nothing else. Algae will not grow in copper water therefore I cut all the other chemicals out. Saves time and money. I put copper sulfate in when I close the pool and when I open it the water is crystal clear.

Many pool owners especially new pool owners tend to use more chemicals than necessary. This article does give a good outline of basic pool care. I would rank not keeping the water level up as one of the major mistakes I see all the time. Nate

You can also use powder chlorine. But then you need a bucket to pre-dissolve it.

In reply to Sandy. No, you can dump the shock in too.
