I bought this from an online retailer earlier this year and now I am stuck with it-Yes I learned my lesson about buying in bulk. Make sure it works well for me first!! It doesn't work well in our in-ground pool- It doesn't dissolve well, and it turns the water cloudy, and more than once now, the pool has had algae start to grow on the walls! I read earlier that HTH, and some of the cheaper brands are formulated with a strong calcium base that causes this. Have any of you had issues with this product?
After the initial HTH trouble, I started using Poolife Rapid shock from my local store again with no prob, then I ran out and had to use the HTH crap...serves me right.

You have a chemistry problem.
The HTH product is Calcium Hypochlorite. If your pH is too high, the calcium will precipitate as Calcium Hydroxide. If you control your pH properly you should not have a problem with this product.
Your Poolife Rapid Shock is a sodium hypochlorite product. The sodium salt does not form a precipitate.
To use up your HTH product and to use any calcium hypochlorite salt, regardless of who makes it, adjust your pH and maintain its control.

GTB is correct, but put the HTH down the skimmer, because it is clorinated calcium and the filter can take most of it out before it hits your water. http://appliancequickfix.com/ has a great page on pool water maintenance, so take 15 minutes to review it. Its so easy even a caveman could do it.

I went below the water and became into gasping for air, then I went to a paranormal place the place it became into rather warm and there have been demons forking me interior the butt with pitch forks. won't have the capacity to attend to flow back to that wacky Public Pool.
