Bought a foreclosed home with an inground concrete pool. Pool sat neglected under many trees for two years. I am trying to get the water clear. I have pulled leaf rake after leaf rake of debris from the bottom. I have been dumping bleach and bleach and bleach and then granules (my pool pro added those so I am unsure what they were, but I believe not stabilized). I have been adding tri-chlorimines (5 lbs optimum chlorine granules per night) the past few days because the CYA test my pool guy did indicated about none. Been running the pump 24 hrs for a week.
FC refuses to rise above 3ppm and even then it won't stay. Water became milky seafoam green once i switched to stabilized granules. But it hasnt progressed further. I can see about 6 to 8 inches down and can almost make out the outline of the bottom of the spa in the shallow end.
I don't know if I need to dump more bleach, if I need more CYA and if so how to add it, or if I need to pull more debris from pool (which is hard cause I can't see the bottom). Been using a leaf rake because the vac to waste seems ineffective. Maybe I just need POPP?
Advice and encouragement welcome.
