oopps... Geek shocked her little 600 gallon hillbilly pool with enough shock for 6000 gallons! Is the water able to be saved?

:faint: Take a water sample to your pool place and ask them what you should do.

So it might burn the kids' skin off their bodies? Will it go away in time or should I dump the water:confused: I have to buy a water tester.

The sun will burn off the chlorine over time, but even after that I would check the PH balance before I'd let the kids in it.

From a google search:
"Do not swim in the pool until the chlorine level dissipates, and reads 3 ppm or less."

It should dissipate on its own. A good rain storm will help it on its way. Do you have room to add more water?

In the meatime maybe you could do your white laundry in the pool :yay:

Chlorine. But the shock came in it's own bag and I used a little bit, but I wanted more results. Half the bag later it looks so freaking clear and sparkling.

On the plus side forcing my neighbors to look at the jiggler everyday has inspired them to put up expensive privacy trees :diva:

I will get a tester before the kids are allowed in it.

Thank you for being blonde. If you were a brunette we would have to wonder if you died your hair darker.

Since we met at the car wash I know you are a natural blonde.
