Looks like green food coloring in my pool

First... you really need to be testing your own water to take control of it. (I assumed that you don't since you went to Leslies for testing-- if I'm mistaken-- I'm sorry). Look for a Taylor K-2006 test kit. You can find that in the stickies at the top of the forum. That said, a bit of useful info from the store test is that you don't have metals in your water (at least by their test). Your description sounds exactly like my scenario years ago --- water is bright emerald green but transparent. Long story very short... mine was algae and I had to shock (raise the FC level to shock level) for several days to get rid of it. I think that's what you've got going on, but let's get confirmation from the moderators before you act. You will need plenty of bleach on hand... looks like you already have plenty of CYA in your pool by the testing at Leslies, so you probably need to use bleach for chlorination as well as shocking at this point.

Help for her anyone?
