My husband are newbies to pool care. We put a new liner and water into our pool last September and ran the filter and treated the pool through the fall and winter. (We plan to buy a cover this year.) We'd had our water tested by the pool people and added the appropriate chemicals. They said that it was in pretty good shape overall. After adding everything, our pool water was still cloudy.
We went on vacation for about 10 days and when we came back our pool was green and stagnant. The filters baskets were full of algae and I removed about 2 dozen frogs. Ewwww..... I cleaned the baskets, brushed down the sides of the pool and added 7 bags of shock. We have a 30,000+ gallon pool that we have been chlorinating with tabs. I read on here that I need to start adding bleach, but how much do I need to add? What kind of pool testing kit/strips do you recommend.
We are very new to this, but are really tired of lining the pockets of the pool people.... Thanks for any help you can give me.
