Pros: This product was amazingly effective; easy to use; and reasonably priced
Cons: There are no cons to this product. It was a wonderful find this season
"The pool wasn't closed properly last winter, so I was dreading opening it this summer. Sure enough, it was a green, awful mess. This product did an amazing job overnight of clearing up the water. The results were nothing short of a miracle!"

BEST PRODUCT EVER,
Date:June 8, 2011
By poolvirg
from Harmony, PA
from Harmony, PA
Pros: Quick Results, Easy Instructions, Algae killer, pool opener
"Our winter cover fell into the pool this year making our pool a complete green, swampy mess. We cleaned leaves, tadpoles, etc out of the pool and shocked it multiple times with very little results. Green pond, looking water. Green To Clean has shown wonderful results after about 8 hours. We are at the within about 17 hours the pool is only a little cloudy. I will purchase this product to open our pool every year!"

Great Product 4 Your Money,

By NJPoolMom

Pros: Works Quickly
Cons: Couldn't find any
"This year I used Green to Clean to open our pool along with the normal chemicals. In 1 day it was dramatically different and ready for swimmers. Plus we haven't had any algea problems at all this year and that is a FIRST. We always have one or two bought a summer with algea just due to where we are located. I would strongly recomend this product to everyone and won't go thru another opening without it!!!"

Pros: You just pour it in and follow the directions.
Cons: It didn't work as fast as I thought. We had to add more shock than recommended.
"Green to Clean saved our pool! We opened a few weeks later than normal this year. The water color was a mix between brown and green. I have ordered other products from In The Swim and decided to try this product. Amazing! It really works. We will always remember this in the future."

Worked like a charm,
Date:July 11, 2009
By gophman
from Rochester, NY
from Rochester, NY
Pros: did just what it said
Cons: none
"This spring the kids took the winter cover off without my help and got the filthy sludge from the cover in the pool, by the time I got it filled back up and everything back together a few days later we had a nice green mess in the pool, I knew it would take a fortune worth of chemicals to get it back, I even contemplated draining the whole pool and starting from scratch, but I saw this product and figured it was cheap enough to try. the next morning after putting it in the pool was cloudy and blue, a little claifier and a day or 2 later we were back in business.
Worked great for me.
