While on vacation, our pool pump had a problem (leaking due to diverter seal) so the 'pet/pool sitter' shut everything down. Pure green upon our return. Tried algaecide - three different ones to date. Had water tested at dealer - showed fac .44, total .84, cc .4, ta 20, ph 7.1, ch 123, ca 75. According to there instructions I added 20 lbs of alk increaser and 20 lbs of calcium increaser. Shocked with 3 lbs of 'turbo shock'. I neglected to wait the full time between chemical additions....we are selling our haouse and had a showing coming up so I was hoping to clear things up quickly. Now the pool is a sickly whitish/light blue cloudy mess. Test strips show alk/ph/tc levels ok now altho free chlorine is still low/zero. We use aqua chem 3" chlor plus tabs (costco). Also, a lot of well water was added with the leak and I know the iron levels were high in the well. Any suggestions?
