My pool water has a green tint that I cannot get rid of (it is getting worse). I stuck my hand in the deep end of the pool and the sides do not feel slick and do not have algae stuck to it.
I finally took water sample to Leslies on Sunday afternoon (the only choice I have of a pool company to test). The results were:
FAC 1
TAC 2
CH 150
CYA 60
TA 50
PH 7.4
Copper 0
Iron 0
Pho 300
I added about 8-9 lbs of baking soda to get up the TA, and they had me add 2 bags of their Fresh N Clear that night.
Monday night the TA was 130, PH was 7.6, and it had no chlorine. and i put two chlorine tablets in the skimmer. I added their product PhosFree (they said it would get rid of the green tint).
I don't know how long it is supposed to take the PhosFree to work but this morning...it looks the same. I called Leslies, they said to bring the water in to test and they will tell me what else I need to add to it.
I am panicking because my husbands WHOLE family is coming into town on Saturday for a pool party! I don't know what to do.
Pool info:
17,000 gallon octagon vinyl liner
I use baking soda and borax for PH & ALK but I use chlorine tabs and shock from walmart because I am scared of they CYA product (yes, I know I am a baby).
