Hi,

My first post so please be gentle. - I have a 30,000 gallon in ground pool with a jandy 580 cartridge filter.

We just had the pool opened by 'pros' and 2 weeks later, I still have cloudy greenish water. At this point I have taken matters into my own hands and am testing regularly to keep the Free Clorine up (with test strips unfortunately - Ben's Kit seems a little imtimidating to me). My question is whether I should be actively brushing the sides and floor to the main drain or if I should allow the water to be still while clearing up the water? I still can not see the floor even in the shallow (3ft) end yet although the water did go from a REALLY BAD GREEN to a greenish tinted blue now in the 2 weeks. I have been running the filter 24/7 since. We are also in New york if that matters (tempatures and whatnot)

I had the water tested today by the pool store and they gave me 4 gallons of liquid 6% chlorine to pour in. 2 today and one tomorrow and one wednesday. (Today is saturday.) I also put 1/2 container of PH up and he has me putting in a whole container of alkiline on Wednesday. I also added 12 oz of clarifier to the pool surface.

Hopefully this is enough info for some solid advice. I have been lurking the forums trying to learn for about a year now (in prep for this summer) and feel like I might need a little more personalized advice. =)

I have such a Love / Hate relationship with this pool. Today is one of those days when I feel like it would be cheaper to fill it with Gold Coins ala Scrooge McDuck.

Thanks Again.
CARLO.
