Wow, you have quite a project there. I will alert Ben to stop by and take a look at this thread, see if he can offer any help.

Welcome to the forum!!

Hi Ryan;

Do three things:

#1 - send some pictures to poolforum AT gmail DOT com
#2 - check out your physical cleaning equipment, and see if you have the gear to vacuum to waste. Trying to clean up goop like that with chemicals could easily consume more than 100 gallons of chlorine.
#3 - Let us kmov hwo ist gomig, jut plaese ues a teal keyboard instead of whatever you are using -- for our sake. ;-)

Thanks,

Ben

You need to get all the debris and junk out of the water you can. Keep at it.

Putting in bleach was not a bad idea. If the pool is small as you indicated (I'm guessing 10,000 gallons) then that would have been a good starter--but you'd have to put it in repeatedly.

Have you filled the pool with fresh water? I'm guessing it was low and you did or the pump and filter wouldn't have been able to do anything. You can drain off 3/4 of the water and refill. Leave at least a foot of water in the shallowest section when you do that--don't drain more--you know why.

You WILL need to test your water for what's in it. We can only guess and that's not the best thing for you.

1 is done, sent the pics over

it was full, the rain kept it at the right height, as did all the snow we had this year

have testing gear for the water, but figured at this point it doesnt matter as i should get all the crap out first

i have started the draining process, thank you siphon
am going to call around for water delivery, i have a well and dont want to burn out my pump

Having water delivered is probably not a bad idea. We run into all kinds of people who have trouble with their pools as a result of filling with well water.

Here are your pics.

One caution: do NOT drain if ground surrounding your pool is wet. It looks like you are on level ground, which means water could gather under your liner and lift it, if your drain much from the pool.
