    It's eating up the baquacil - keep dosing the pool with bleach - check it as often as you can, bring it back to shock levels and be consistant - the more consistant you are the faster your pool will clear. Good luck!

    See? You didn't hurt your pool! You need to KEEP dosing it with bleach...though with a 3000 gallon popup, why didn't you just drain and refill, and then dose it with bleach?

    I actually did drain some last night and put fresh. I just hated to put in all new water and wait for it to get warm again for my little ones. Plus, our first pop up pool this summer had a leak and we had to drain it and buy a new one, and we're using a ton of water on our yard, which was newly seeded.

    In retrospect, draining might have been better! But I'm hopeful this small amount of water will work to our advantage and it will clear quickly.

    Thanks for everyone's support!
