Opened up pool and I have green water ( I can see the bottom kind of - 52" deep). The readings I have are
Hardness 200
Free Chlorine 10
PH 7.5
Alkalinity 120
Cyanuric acid 30-50
I added chlorine (a lot), ph + What they said to add), Algae stuff(What they said to add), stain remover(What they said to add), Clarifier(What they said to add) to get the reading I`m at so far. When I said (What they said to add I ment what it said on the bottles) I have the test strips. Should I add more of something. I`m into day number two. I have vaccumed the pool also. Pool is 24' round. Water should be at 13,594 gallons I was told.
I see here people are talking of bleach. Never used it or told to use it. 6th season having a pool? Never had the problem that I have now with green water.
Bought cool skirted winter cover that worked really good first season (doen`t raise up and whip in the wind like a balloon) Only thru the next winter a mouse ate a few holes in my nice new cover (to late to get a kit to fix during winter close so we used duck tape instead ( not good it all came off over the winter to let spring things fall into the holes.) There is where my problems started.
If anyone knows what I should do next please let me know. Thanks
