Thanks in advance folks. I have a salt water pool that is about 5 years old. Its 36x18, 8ft deepend and 3 1/2 shallow end. Its green and cloudy. Up to this point i have never tested the water. Guy who put it in said just add stabilizer and salt. Stabilizer twice a year and salt as needed. Well that isnt working this time. Salt is at 3100 and i have added stabilizer. So i got a cheap aqua chem test at wally world to test my chlorine. My color is a dark orange not yellow like the test shows. It says the ph test wont be accurate unless my chlorine is right. I have no idea where to start. Please help. Should i keep my kids out of the pool? Thanks, Tony
