    Default Blue water after Algecide and Flocculant

    33ft X 54" round AGP
    Had greenish blue water couldn't see bottom of pool and had green algae floating in water daily. Pool store guy suggested poly Algecide after adding it two days later water looked a lot better. Could see bottom of pool, although barely (first time all spring). Added flocculant let filter run for four hours and let set for 24hrs water very blue. Now it's been another 24hrs no change water still very blue. Any advise on where to go from here would be very appreciated.

    Befor Algecide and floc:
    Ph 7.5
    FC 10 (using liquid chlorine)
    CYA 40
    Alk 110

    Now:
    PH 7.5
    FC 0 (haven't added any since Algecide treatmeny)
    CYA 0
    Alk 110

    CYA variation is probably just testing error -- strips are horribly inaccurate. Get a K2006 (Amazon link in my signature).

    Is blue water a problem? Very clean water *is* blue. Do you mean blue, like blue toilet water?
