The only person I’ve found who actually knows how to explain it
I wish you were still online, Chad. You are amazing and so informative.
Thanks a lot ... sorted my milky pool in 48hr with your 3rd advice... Im now watching all your academy videos... I never seen anyone explaining so good how to care of pools... massive thanks 😁
Video still helping people 5yrs later, tnx fam!
Thanks! The lady at Leslie Pool was not only wrong, she led me the wrong way. This video helped me FINALLY figure out what was going on and get my pool clear once again. Excellent video. Thanks bro!!

LOL, you asked for advice on pools at a pool store?! Never do that since those salespeople have no clue and only want to sell unneeded chemicals. Do your own research (just like you did watching this video).You will eventually get pretty savvy on this chemistry stuff.
Y’all are awesome . I was trying to clear up our cloudy pool and spent a lot of money listening to the local pool shop. Bought a bottle of floc from Lowe’s and did exactly as in this video and it worked magic. Thank you so much.
This has been the best series and the most helpful. Thank you, for putting this information into layman’s terms for me! I will be looking for additional pool care instructions from you.
You should label this clearing a pool for dummies lol! This is awesome!! Thank you! Your like a preacher for pools! It all makes sense!
When I use the manual vacuum cleaner the pump dont fill up any other time it's so full it can looks emptying
Hose is free nothing stuck in the hose sand filter is clean water flow is strong pump is full when using Polaris 65
Chad, you're the don of you tube pool maintenance - thanks so much! These videos have set me on the right track to sorting out my pool 👍
The best advice ever This makes your life so easy. Just listen to this guy and save the videos and share.
I just had to take a moment to thank you for your incredible videos. They are easy to understand, and always spot on! How thoughtful of you to include a PDF with this one! My family is so grateful for all of the direction you have unknowingly provided so that we can consistently use our pool! Many, many thanks!

From the land Downunder I gotta say your video's are exceptional. Thanks to you guys I have installed mt own above ground pool successfully and have been able to maintain and sort out problems on the way with little fuss. Many thanks, really appreciated!
Best video on UA-cam !! Thank you, made my life more simple
I have to say this is by far the best video by way of explaining in simple terms so anyone can understand exactly what to do. Really appreciate it.
Wow, Most informative video on this subject. Thank you for the advice. I woke up this morning to cloudy water after a major thunder storm last night. Thank you so much for a great video! Have a wonderful day!
A year ago I watched this video, I owed you a big thank you. Now I watch again, I appreciate it! God bless.
I have an in-ground pool but I watched this video because this guy was incredibly interesting to watch. Excellent presentation. Thank you.
I just watched your video about 10 hours ago and MAN!!! THANK YOU! my kid has been so upset I haven't allowed him in the pool. And because of you I solved my problem! Thank you
EXCELLENT ADVICE ! YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. MANY THANKS !
Outstanding video! THANK YOU ! Finally someone explained it so I understand! I can’t thank you enough
Thank you. Best videos on pool care I have seen. You explain everything so newies can understand it.
This video has the best explanation and the clearest instructions that I have seen yet!! Thank you so much Chad! Wish me luck... 😊
My pool is still cloudy. It is fine in the morning, but once I put the vacuum in the pool, it goes totally cloudy! I have been vacuuming and scrubbing walls every other day, but they aren't even dirty. Today when I vacuumed I sent the waste water out of the pool rather than through my cartridge filter. I lost a lot of water, but I am desperate! I also have a stocking on my water return to catch whatever is missed by the filter... and even then when I went close and touched it, there was cloudy stuff coming out of it.
Do I need to just drain and refill? Is it my filter; which has a cracked impeller (pump is so loud so i pened it up and saw)? Do I need chemicals?
Within the past week, I have already shocked, clarified, and non-chlorine shocked. I clean the cartridge filter 2 - 3 times per day. I have vacuumed, and cleaned walls daily too. We have only had water in it for about 4 weeks.
Today my readings were low in free chlorine (1) and ph (6.8). I am afraid to add any chemicals at this point so I just allowed more chlorine to come out of the floating duckie chlorinator (4 holes instead of 2).
Chad, I would LOVE and APPRECIATE anything you can suggest at this point. Please! My children and I would really appreciate it!!
Signed,
Feeling Helpless😫
I almost can't believe how clear you and this video is thanks for putting in the time
Thank you for giving me the different options. Came back from vacation and forgot to hve my friend empty the skimmer basket. Pool was finally clear before and now its been green for a week. I am glad you gave the turn your pump off to let it settle option. That's the route I'll be doing. I have faith this will work. Good info in 1 video. thanks!
Thank you so much! You broke it down in dummy terms! Much appreciated.
Thank you sooooo much for this video. We could not get our pool clear, our pool supplier was telling us to drain it and start over. I followed your steps and its clear. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I appreciate your video. I'm a newbie at this so having these types of resources is invaluable.
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing you experience with a novice pool owner. I appreciate your free advice. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
GREAT ADVISE, we just moved into a house and had advise from SO MANY PEOPLE, changed sand filter sand then watched your video. Removed the pool stairs and found a BIG surprise of NASTY. Took them out and bleached them. Flocked and now trying to get levels proper. HOPE WE CAN FINALLY START SWIMMING IN IT SOON. THANK YOU!
I would like to Thank You for this video. Our pool has been cloudy for 2 weeks. Our local pool guys said run it 24/7, vacuum and backwash. Not once did they say to put the filter on waste and vacuum out the particals on the bottom. I vacuumed the whole pool and I was surprised that I didn't have a lot of water loss. The water is clear today! Thanks Again.
I'd like to thank you for clearly, precisely and slowly explaining all the steps to getting my pool clear again. In the 15 years I've had pools, I've never experienced a cloudy pool. It's amazing what a hurricane can do! I appreciate the time you spent on creating such a helpful video. I look forward to seeing the next few in this series.

Finally a great detailed video on the micro particles in the pool!! Dealing with this right now! Sand filter and my pool chemicals are perfect but I still have aqua carribean Color cloudy water.
8 years later still saving us money
Thank you so much for explaining this as well as you did. I’ve just been searching for someone to break things down for me. Every year for the last year I have tried to put our pool up but it seems we run into the same headaches again and again.
Super helpful, beyond grateful. Best diy vid I’ve EVER seen. Can’t express my gratitude enough
Made this easy for me to understand without the need of a masters in chemistry, thanks!
Thank you so much!! This has been the most informative explaination I've see so far
Great tutorial!! And thank you for explaining what the chemicals do! If helps us to remember what to do when we understand it!!
You, sir, are one fine individual! Thank you!!
Very precise and descriptive video. Thank you. My Wife and I are just now going to get an Above ground pool. I have subscribed to your channel .
Someone who knows what they are talking about. Great video. Will share results.
Nice to see a video that you can actually understand. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Don's pool Rialto Ca. Is right on the money. Your free advice is greatly appreciated. Nothing wrong with a second opinion. God Bless you...
Gonna give this a shot. Opened the pool this past weekend & was really green. Algae was gone the next day but have been trying to get it cleared up all week now.
I appreciate your knowledge and easy to understand video. Thank you so much!
Thank u so much sir . I'm also a pool cleaner her in Philippines . It's a very big help to me . Now I know how to clean the pool in just few steps
Wow! Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.
best video on the subject yet. this video should have 6mil views..
Great information, easy to follow and apply. Thank you so much for putting this here for us.
Thank you, Thank you. Very informative and on the money. Did exactly what was recommended, (I did step 2 as I was struggling with cloudy water for a week. Water samples to pool store had no effective results.) Everything was explained as I was going to see pool this morning, vacuumed everything up. Crystal clear!!! YeeeHaaaa!!! You saved the weekend. Above Ground Pools is my go-to sight for pool issues. Thanks again.
You are amazing! Thank you for your explanation. This make sense now!!!
So thankful for your video. Straight to the point ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video is truly so well done.
A better video does NOT exist. This IS IT!!!
Wow, thanks from Sydney, Australia. Just having our worst summer in living memory. Huge amounts of smoke for days on end. This is what has happened to my pool. Thought I was doing the right thing in vacuuming & chlorine but to no avail. Will try this out. Ran out of Floc though. Off to to the shops now. Many thanks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!! Amazingly informative!!!! You rock!!!
Best video and advice I've seen , thanks.
Best video I've watched on this. Thank you
the best video for pool owners so far
thanks Chad !! you make the life more easier!!!
Awesome video man! Really appreciate it!
Thanks, man. Very clear and concise. I hope it works!
Thank you for this video! I had my pool crystal clear, then I went on vacation. I came back to an algae bloom. Lovely. I got my water blue again, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it clear. It was cloudy. My pH was good, and chlorine was nominal. I used a whole bottle of liquid super clarifier to no effect. I had two boxes of HTH Super Green to Blue, but since my pool was no longer green, I hesitated to use it. My mistake for a solid week.
Upon watching this video, I had been keeping my pool pump running 24/7, but the filter didn't increase in pressure. I didn't bother to backwash twice daily. When I saw the part about using a floc, I decided to read all the ingredients to my HTH boxes. THE SECOND TREATMENT BAG WAS FLOC! I have a 30k gallon above ground pool, so I needed one and a half boxes for a full treatment. BOOM! Clear water in less than 12 hours. Yellow bottom, but worth it.
You were not kidding, though, when you said to take it slowly when cleaning. I did that and had to refill my pool twice as the vacuum got down to my skimmer line and lost suction. Needless to say, all the yellow is gone, and we once again have a beautiful pool.
Thanks again for such wonderful, useful, and precise information! It is a true blessing that you offer it for free.
Tom LaGesse thank you! I was also wondering if my 2nd step bag was floc!!!! Lol. I had a box that had two treatments. I did the first round after we came back from vacation to a brown pool. I was reluctant to doing another treatment with the stuff because I too, was left with a VERY cloudy blue pool. I’ve been watching all kinds of videos for over a week now. (Mostly because when the pool pump burned up we decided to upgrade to a sand filter so I had a lot to learn. Lol). Also because it is the end of the season here in PA I couldn’t find most of the stuff I wanted and needed. Going crazy to find some floc. And now I know I have a bag of it right in my garage. Lol 👍👍👍👍.
Awesome video the best advices ever THANK YOU !
I agree with you very good tips
Excellent video. Thank you!
What a great video! Thanks Chad!
Great video. Thanks so much. Very helpful and informative. Nice jobs.
Best video I’ve seen on the topic.
Thank you for this video. it was the most informative and very descriptive for us new pool owners! thanks again!
Great video and thanks for clear and understandable information
Fantastic video!!! So informative!! Thank you!
Excellent, professional and very informative. Thank you!
This video was very helpful. thanks. Im going to try this tomorrow as my pool is full of algea due to sitting over winter time. Hope this fix it for me!
use some algicide too
YOU ROCK! From a teacher, you can teach...
Awesome video added folc today hopefully clear tomorrow
Help me a lot,thank you for sharing man...
I am sooooo thankful you AGP!!!
excellent video. I have been following this method for the last two season successfully.
Really clear instructions. Thank you very much 😊
Got up one morning and my pool was a light green and cloudy. Went to our local pool store and got Pro Guard Copper Algicide, 15 lbs of Burnout shock, 15 lbs of balance Pak 100. Put all that in and run the pump all night. Next morning put in ProTeam Polyquat 30 2oz pool was still light green and very cloudy. Went back to the pool store and had the water tested again. Water was perfect both times except the ph was a little high the second water testing. So put in lo'n slo ph decreaser, 5 bags of Yellow treatment, and 5 lbs of shock. Got up this morning and the water is blue finally but very cloudy. You can see the bottom if you look really hard so I am just going to let it filter again tonight and pray that it is clear in the morning. I may vacuum tomorrow evening after work and see if that helps. And if it is still cloudy I will try the Super Blue Clarifier. Thanks for your videos they are really informative.
Thank You for clearing that up!
Thanks I got it all clear!!! It was flocking clear as can be😏
Liked and prescribed. I have a lot to learn as a new pool owner.
Thank You very much this has helped me alot.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us.
This is the best video I have seen. The videos I watch before said if your filter is putting sand back in pool you need to change the sand out. So after change the sand I went to vaccuum all the debris off the bottom of the pool! I start vacuuming and with in a few minutes the pool is turning brown again! Now I know it because it to fine to go throughthe filter. I put PH down and clarify in the pool. So we will wait till tomorrow and see what happens.
RIP Chad. Your legacy of knowledge lives on.
I love the details!
Great explanation thank you for clearing my pool
Was just getting ready to empty the pool and just start over but glad I found this first. Pool started very green so didnt realize that even though its blue there is still debri in the water. Going to keep chlorine levels high and backwash 2xday until clear if I understood correctly. I had my stablizer levels off so the chlorine I was putting in wasnt staying in the pool. I have the levels good, chlorine is holding so I'll start the 2xday backwash and monitor chlorine in the meantime if I understood you correctly. Thanks a ton for the awesome video!
Thanks for this Detailed instructions.
I can’t wait to try this! Leslie pool told us something different and it’s not cleared up. I’ll keep you posted
Very well done, thank you!
