    Default Green pool, bad chemistry

    Baquacil to chlorine, although the pool folks told us we had no chemicals in the pool
    Total chlorine after shocking .5
    ph 7.6
    total alkalinity 280
    total hardness 570

    this is an above ground pool 12.500 gal

    I am considering adding 3.1 liters of bleach, after using bleachcalc.

    any other suggestions?

    The pool was filthy...all the stuff in the liner fell in when we removed it...lucky us. I have been brushing and adding chlorine, and every time I add chlorine the slightly cloudy blue water turns green and cloudy for a day then goes back to slightly cloudy blue

    I am very frustrated.

    Read through the posts in the Baquacil section...there are many threads there where forum members have converted from Baquacil to bleach. It's my understanding that "georgeous" green colors are common during the conversion.

    Keep pouring the bleach to it, and read through the posts on the Baq forum.
