    Smile I'm back! but with a different pool.

    Greetings everyone! This year we have a different pool, a different pump, filled from a different water source (still well water though) so naturally, I have a whole new set of problems and need your expertise to figure it all out.

    Taylor 2006K

    FILL water test:
    Ph 7.8
    TA 180
    hardness 50
    CC 0
    CYA 0 (added 1 lb stabilizer 7/11)

    CURRENT am pool water test:
    ph 7.5
    TA 180
    hardness 50
    FC 9.5
    CC .5
    CYA (to soon to test again)

    Things I've done, right or wrong:
    Not wanting to strain the well, it took forever to fill (about 6 days). While waiting 5 days to attach the pump I added bleach each day, as well as a little algecide & metal sequestriant here and there. Water began filling with a brownish "tea" color, but quickly turned to pale green within 1 day. As soon as the pump was started, I tried my sock filter routine that I used to do with the old pool, but this year there isn't anything showing so I quit it. The filter is white..no brown goo. Maybe due to adding sequestriant while filling? Running pump 24/7. Anyway, the water is clear, I can see the pool bottom but it's a pale green color and so far I seem to be losing a lot of chlorine overnight. I shocked the pool two nights in a row with bleach, this am I had lost about 9ppm overnight. Yesterday, I added muriatic acid which lowered the ph to 160, but this am it's back to 180. What should I do next, my friends?

    I put my pool info in my "signature" but I don't see it showing up in my post...
