    I am sorry for the confusion D. In low light the water haas a somewhat amber tint against the blue liner. The tint is actually a greenis color. The pool was clear until I added the bleach. So I am thinking there is copper content in the water. I am having it tested today.

    Lower your water a little, check to see if there is any staining on your pool. Blue and yellow make green - I had this happen in my pool - I thought that the water was green, but when I lowered the water I noticed that my whole pool was tinted yellow from staining - so this is just a suggestion. If it is staining we can tell you how to get rid of it.
