hey guys , newbie here ,
just changed above ground 15x24 liner and filled with fresh water . 10,000 gallons of new long island water water is a little soft, ph and alk levels are a little low. Shocked the pool with 2 bags of shock , waited a day, and water still green/cloudy. Added mineral remover ,waited a day ,and still green/cloudy. Went back to pool store talked to guy and he said probably not algae because its new water. I explained that 10 years ago , i had same situation for about a week or 2 and finally added about 2 gallons of bleach ,and it finally cleared up with bleach. He told me that bleach is only 6% chlorine and that i should take a 1lb bag of shock, mix with water and pour around pool, because shock has 64% active ingredient. DID THAT AND STILL NO HELP. So i had purchased some other stuff catatonic something or other ....no help......Im thinking of just buying 2 gallons of bleach , and trying that again , as i did 10 years ago..........any suggestions??????? thanks ginogag
