    ok-I did some reading and I put a nylon on the outside of my skimmer sleeve to filter through. It wouldn't fit nicely inside -so I thought I would try out first and see.

    ok-so I can see maybe 6 inches farther down and have a turqouise color. very pretty! I am just going to let the filter run for a few days and keep levels good and see if now with the nylon on if things filter through. I do have a very small pump-so maybe the days I was given is unrealistic. I will update when I have change!

    The best thing you can do is get that Chlorine into shock level and keep it there throughout the day.

    Can I use bleach in my 18 x 48 intex pool? The pool store is out of chlorine. What do you use for ph plus and minus and clarifier?

    Bleach is chlorine. You should read this on the sister website PoolSolutions
    and when you are done read EVERYTHING ESLE that you can on that site!
    http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/grocery.html

    If you follow the advice on there you should have no need for clairfier! The only things you will need from the poolstore are Stabilizer and Muriatic Acid (although you can also find those at such places as Home Depot, Walmart, and Hardware stores!)

    AND GET YOURSELF A TEST KIT. LOOK FOR THE AQUACHEM 6 WAY AT WALMART OR KMART. Best test kit out there for under $20

    If you had done this from the beginning you would be swimming already!
