Hi,
I had my inground vinyl pool liner replaced almost three weeks ago. My pool contractor used some groundwater as well as two truckloads of untreated water (I didn't know it was untreated) to fill the pool. What started out as sludge was slowly improved to crystal clear water with some, what I thought was algae, in the deep end. I have spent the last week backwashing my Pentair DE 48 (brand new) twice a day for four days, then four times yesterday. I added double doses of super clarifier Friday night and last night. This morning, the pool looked amazing except for some spots in the deep end that I thought was algae (the pool smells a bit...). I added three bags of Sani Shock 2, and ten minutes later the water turned green, and now is a clear dark brown.
I'm extremely frustrated and don't know what to do next. Any help you can provide will be MUCH appreciated. Thanks so much.
