Green Pool

[GreenWater]

I been trying for the last two weeks...The inground pool vinyl 30,000 gal. was in pretty bad shape. The water was full of algae and leafs. I finally got almost all of it out but can't say all because the water is still green (light green). Not able to see bottom. I have added over 32 bags sock-it and box of Borex and 3 bottles of chlorine so far.

Test results:

PH 7.6
ALK (TA) 110
CYA 0
TC 25
FC 0

Please help me out....Thanks!

How are you testing the chlorine? I find TC of 25 and FC of 0 to be unlikely.

I'm using the PoolSolutions test kit.

Retest your chlorine readings using only the DPD-FAS test and repost your results. Then somebody here can try and help.

O.k. I tested the FAS-DPD test..I followed the direction it turn purple not pink then 122 drops still purple. I think the test is malfunction.

Calcuim: 600
(OTO) TC: CL BR

5 10

PH Test: 7.6
AKA: 120
CYA 0
FC: Unknown test will not work

Please help! Thanks!

Maybe get another family member to read the instructions and make the test while you just sit on you hands and watch. Maybe you'll discover something you're doing wrong.

Something sure isn't the way is should be.
