my pool has that in the begining of the season. you just take a rag, and scrub the bottom of it.
its gross, but you gotta do what you gotta do. good luck
The pool isle of your neighborhood grocery store should have a pouch called Shock It. This stuff works wonders.
probably…. but will it be safe for the kids to swim in after that????…… you can adjust the pH , too, with stuff in the cupboard… but again, is it safe for the kids?….. chlorine that is MEANT for pools is hard enuff on eyes and hair… what will clorox do?…. think this over, please?
bleach,oxy clean,and amonia will work just make sure they do not contain soap
the answer is… YES…. But how much bleach will you need. You dont say what type of algae you have. Clorox, or any other store brand of bleach is about half the strength of chlorine. So if you are going to need just for a number to illustrate, 10 gallons of liquid pool chlorine, you are going to need approximately 20 gallons of clorox just to get the same effect.
You can buy HTH chemicals at Wal-mart for about 2.50 to 3 bucks a bag of chlorine in granular form. 1 bag of granular shock is equivalent to 1 gallon of liquid shock, or 2 gallons of clorox. so.. ultimately, by using clorox, you really are not saving any money. If clorox is going to cost you 1.29 a gallon or 1.59 for clorox, then in the long run you are actually spending more money than if you just bought pool chemicals.
Not to mention that if you need 10 gallons of pool shock to clear your algae problem, you are going to need 20 gallons or more of clorox, or 10 bags of granular. the 10 bags of granular take up as much space as 1 gallon of bleach. I dont know too many people that have room to store 20 gallons of bleach.
Ultimately, just buy the pool chemicals, While going with household items wont hurt your pool and will do the job, the costs could actually be more for you inthe long run as you fight an algae problem compared to if you just bought the chemicals intended for use in a pool.
