First off, I started having horrible cloudy yellow algae filled water. I basically went out and bought new cartridge filters because I couldn't get it cleared up. I really didn't need new filters but I was desperate.It was around mid april in texas and we were getting tons of wind and rain and it seemed no matter how much I vacuumed the pool I couldn't get rid of the cloudy green water. I could barely see the drains quite honestly. The water looked horrible and I felt hopeless.I had my chemistry in order, but did have higher phosphates than usual at about 750. This was one of those times where shocking wasn't doing anything and I was getting very upset. I NEVER used algaecide in the past because many pool people say it's a waste of money, but in my case it wasn't.I know there is an argument that a phosphate killer is the way to go but I decided to try the clorox product and I'm super happy I did. I poured about half the bottle into the edges of my pool and swept the side walls and throughout the day swept the debris the best I could to the drains. I also put 2 pounds of granular home depot max blue granular shock in the skimmer without the basket.What shocked me was hen I woke up the next day the pool was the blueist it's ever been and was nearly 100% clear! Even my wife was amazed and couldn't believe how beautiful the water looked. I think for a long time I've suffered with yellow algae but have kind of kept it at bay but I've always had dingy greenish water that wasn't that blue. I think what the clorox product did for me was show me that I desperately needed an algaecide in my pool and it was starving for it. It wiped the algae clean out and now I'm proud of how my pool looks for the first time in a long time. I actually think that this product could potentially save me money in shock if I use it as a preventive.Don't listen to the negative reviews on this stuff, I would venture to guess that many of the people complaining aren't using it properly. You have to have a well balanced pool, with clean filtration and some good shock if you're pool is out of hand. Mine went from embarrassing to magical over night with just a little work.Also I got ZERO foaming! I know some people do, but I didn't. One tip, before you put it in or shock your pool, make sure you sweet the side walls of your pool first to get the algae loose so it's floating all around in your pool.. This is what helped my situation. I also bought some flocculant thinking I may need it to clump the particles so I could vacuum but somehow the clorox product and a little sweeping completely did the trick on my ugly yellow cloudy water. Thanks Clorox!

I started using this product a year ago after the price of chlorine got ridiculous in the hopes to ease the burden of so much chlorine. First of all, I never used any additives other than chlorine, stabilizer tablets, muriatic acid and Baking Soda. My pool has always been easy to keep. I learned the hard way that using too much stabilizer (cyanuric acid) causes your chlorine to become ineffective. The only way to alleviate high levels of cyanuric acid is to drain the pool nearly 80% to get rid of it, it doesn't evaporate. Once learning that, I most use liquid chlorine and shock every two weeks, and I live in Florida.After the huge price increases in chlorine, I began to cut back on adding chlorine as often, but not to the point where it went below the useful range. Now with this Clorox Algae Eliminator, I have cut my chlorine usage by over 30% and my pool looks great and doesn't ever get algae. My pool surface it Pebbletec.Make sure when testing your water that you occasionally check the cyanuric acid levels, along with pH, chlorine/bromine, hardness and alkalinity. Baking Soda is also inexpensive and helps raise your alkalinity if needed. Get your alkalinity levels where they need to be, then add acid to lower the pH. Remember, if your cyanuric acid is high, no chlorine will help and neither will this product. Brush lightly and enjoy!
