We moved into our house last fall, and because of that the pool was not in use, and they hadn't even closed it for winter for us when they left. We have noooo idea what we're doing, and our pool was green for a while, then it turned kinda brown, and now it's sort of a deep blue color. Can't see the bottom, can barely even see the skimming pole. We don't even know for sure if we've got the pump and all that hooked up properly. Anyway my step father was attempting to vacuum the bottom of the pool last night, and for some reason ended up taking some cover off and a lot of water came out, and he had difficulty getting it back on. Now though he says the pump is not working properly. "there are no little edies in the middle" or something. What we've done was put to 1lb bags of shock treatment in. 1lb of PH raising stuff, and now we have no idea what else to do. Don't even know if what has been done is right or not. Just going off random sites that we've found online. I can take pictures of how he's got the pump, and such set up, and the color of the pool water if anyone needs them.
Thank you in advance for any help. This is soo frustrating!
