What can you do if you add shock to the pool so it is clear enough to vacuum but the vacuum stirs up the algae and it turns green again?

We have had several problems w/our pool water and it seems that whenever we purchase ANY Bioguard products it clears it up right away. Bioguard has a website www.bioguard.com and you can locate a dealer near you. Their products are great for any problem. We are using their 3 step program to maintain our pool and it's simple and great and we have crystal clear water. Good Luck.

AnswerYou have this problem because you are trying to vacuum microscopic particles that are small enough to slip through the pool filter. What you want is a product that clarifies by causing the particles to clump together and sink. These larger clumps won't stir up so badly, and will be caught by the filter as well. Answeranother thing you can do is vacume your pool on the waste setting which will pump all small particles you pick up that are too small for your filter out of your pool forevcr. It takes longer though because you have to make sure you keep your water level up above the skimmer line if it is an in ground pool.
