Hi mroll,

Is the water green and hazy, or green and clear? Does your fill water contain metals? Can you post a set of test numbers taken with a drop-based kit (no strips!) for us to look at?

OK I filled in Pool Chart entry..Using basic chlorine/PH tester and levels fine till tonight. had to add more chlorine (sunny warm day and pool was used)
Pool water CLEAN. Pool has dark blue vinyl liner and bottom looks like it has green tinge to it which it shouldnt. Pretty sure it is minerals. Added stuff from Leslies yesterday. Minor difference..Thinking of ordering taylors K2006 if you all think I need it for this size pool.
I so appreciate all your help. I promised my husband that this pool would be my responsibility since I always had pools but I dont want to get to the 'running to pool store to buy their garbage' mode!!

Getting a good Taylor K-2006 is a great idea for every pool owner. The chemistry is the same for big pools and small pools.

What stuff did you add from Leslie's yesterday. Why do you think you have minerals. I noticed in the Pool Chart that you said you filled from city water supply.

Umm thought is was minerals since didn't fill crystal clear..Used Mineral Free..1/2 bottle!! Then vacuumed but only a few small spots on bottom.. If not minerals from local water company supply,WHAT can it be????
Just used dichlor (Leslies chlor-Brite) 1 1/2 ounce but chlorine seemed low. Will readjust in morning..
Bought several bottles of bleach so dont have to use dichlor daily) Been reading so many hours on pool stuff, have headache..
Thanks for your help.. Ordering K2006..
