I love using more natural or readily available stuff. Thank you so much!
Didn't we all at one time! I came here when in my second year, with an Intex donut, I got cloudy water and got "Pool-Stored". Nothing helped except giving up, draining and calling it a season (it was late August anyway). My third year, using the B-B-B method (not yet called that--it hadn't been named), I never had any water problems.
