Hello,

We are having a very hard time with our new pool. The specifics are below.
This pool is inside a conservatory, fiber glass walls and roof, block walls to 3' and concrete floor.

We installed the pool two weeks ago and put in a salt filter, filling it with well water as that's all we have. We put in After we put in 80 lbs pool salt we began getting a green tint. We kept filter running 24/7 with the sw working for 4/6 hours every day. The water began to clear a bit, but tests still showed no chlorine. We added another 40 pounds of salt ( SW system info said 110 lbs needed at start up). Still green. Added a gallon (actually 3 qts, 36 oz) of WM household bleach and left the pool covered while we were away for the weekend with filter running 24/7. When we got home after the weekend and pulled back the cover the whole thing was the colour of tea. Clear, but dark. tested the chlorine and it was dark yellow almost orange. Added another "gallon" of bleach. The next day the water was the colour of coffee but still clear. We vacuumed, vacuumed and stirred up everything. Chlorine read orange.

Decided this was gross, so we siphoned the darn thing, cleaned it and refilled. Day one clear. Day two added the first bag of salt. Day 3 a faint greenish tinge, added the second bag of salt. Day four the pool was definitely turning green. Added the final bag of salt and the water began getting brown again. It's midway between green tea and black tea. Chlorine barely registers the palest pink on the test kit / Ph is 7.

What to do? I filled out the pool chart but the info is below as well
