Just opened it this year, second year of pool, and it is gross.

Can't see the bottom, thick brown, dark murky mess. Was covered with elephant cover all winter (Delaware) and professionaly closed by pool company.

Pool is 30,000 gallon, concrete, 2 yr old with DE filter.

water test at Leslies pool store:

Free Chlorine = 0, yes zero

ph 8.0

TA 120

Calcium hardness 190

CYA 25
TDS 500

My problem is that I don't know what to do next. First added 20 pounds of pH lowering stuff, then, later, added 4 bottles of bleach, 4 gallons. Then, later added 1/3 gallon of algaecide polyquat brown liquid stuff.

How quick for pool to look clearer? When can I see bottom?

Filter is running and chlorine pucks are in...

what next?

this forum is great, but there is so much to read that I get lost easily.
