Hello,
I’ve had some trouble with pool this year, cloudy, then turns green, goes back to good color but stays cloudy. The lady at the pool place said I needed to change the sand. It’s too late in the season for that, plus I got a small leak in the pump so that need to be replaced. I told her I was just going to go ahead and close it. She said I should put in five bags of shock, one bottle of algaecide, and one bottle of Pool-Floc before covering. So I started looking up algaecide and shock, what I found is they will cancel each other out, so don’t use the algaecide for closing. Then I started looking up the floc, apparently you are not supposed to leave the floc for a long period of time. I’m so confused now I don’t know where to start. I think I’m just going to put in the shock and close it up and do the floc in spring. Just looking for advice. Thanks in advance.
