Hi, everyone. New to the forum, so I apologize for any amateur questions.
I opened our AG 18 round, 52 inch deep pool last month. I've been shocking, trying to keep ph levels up and maintaining chlorine, but to no avail. I can see the bottom, but not completely. The water is a light, pale green hue. I have been placing 3 3inch trichlor tabs in the float and running the filter for hours. I've back-washed the cartridge until it runs clear, vacuumed to waste, and still nothing. Had the same issue last year. I tried Pool Trol Liquid Floc Rite. It dropped everything to the bottom. Attempted to vacuum and to waste and it all stirred up again. I didn't use it this year.
Levels as of this morning are as follows:
FC 2ppm
TA 100ppm
PH 7.2
Total Hardness 200ppm
My neighbor's tree hangs over half the pool, so I'm dealing with leaves and runoff daily. The temps have been high 90s for weeks here in NY. Heading to the store for a drop kit until I get the Taylor kit. Any suggestions? Does straight household bleach work? I won't add anything more until I hear back. I have filled out the form, if that helps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
