Extremely cloudy green water.

Thanks for the replies. We were lucky enough to get what seems like the last quart of GLB Drop n' Vac on the planet, so that's ready whenever it gets to that point. We looked for the HTH kit in several Walmarts and couldn't find any. Then we did an online order from Walmart for it (It said it was available for pickup within 5 hours) and got an email a few hours later saying it wasn't in stock. So that's two kits, two canceled orders. The pool place that had the GLB Drop n' Vac about an hour away had a K-2005 kit in stock but we didn't know if that was sufficient enough. Finding ANY kit seems to be almost impossible for some reason. I'll keep looking to buy online and locally though. We just tested the pH and it was between 7.6 and 7.8

Janet, we need an "I've got it, flag" when one of us has a post open . . .

You don't want the K-2005. Have you looked at Lowe's or Home Depot for an OTO kit? Or Lorrison's in Teay's Valley?

[JeremyBlake]

Ordered the K-2006C kit. Should be here between Thursday and Wednesday (Next Wednesday) Until then should i basically give up everything other than keeping the TC level above 10, or are there other steps i should do to keep improving the situation until then?

[PoolDoc]

Keep the chlorine high, and the pH between 7 and 8.

And, if your pump has a 2 speeds, run it on LOW. Your filter will be MUCH more effective at lower flow rates.

Ok, the kit came in today. I have a quick question first though. Should we turn the pump on to circulate the water to get a more accurate test or let it settle first?

[Watermom]

Let it run for a few minutes before collecting a water sample.
