Sorry for the lack of updates, it’s been very busy at work and at home but I needed to post this update because I am so happy…  Our backyard pool turned green after 2 days and it’s been 3 weeks of struggling with it.  Chemical & pH levels are good but the damn pollen made it look absolutely terrible.  I have a family gathering at my home next weekend and told them that nothing has been working so yesterday we went to the most extreme level and I bought some Power Floc (flocculant) and my god what a difference it made!

First picture was taken on yesterday, I added the floc in the afternoon recirculated the water for a couple of hours then turned off the pump to let the stuff do its work.  Frankly I wasn’t that hopeful as everything else failed but when I woke up and saw how clear the water was it was great!  I immediately started to vacuum out the particulate matter and now my pool is mainly clear!  I might do it again, I was too fast when I did started vacuuming and disturbed the materials but it’s so much better now.  Just refilling the pool and maybe I’ll go for a swim in the afternoon/evening. 🙂
