Greetings fellow pool lovers. I live in NH even though I am jerzegurl. I recently bought an Intex pool 16x4 and it holds 6,000. Since we live in country and have a well we decided to have the local Fire Department fill our pool. It was probably a big mistake. My pool water was filled with pond water.. and it is awful. For the record this what I have done so far.. I put in 8 gallons of shock, and got a high (purple reading) on the PH in a red and yellow drop test kit. I added PH Minus 3 16 oz. containers.. but nothing was going down.
I read where the purple reading on the PH is from too high Chlorine content.. so I did a test with neutralizing the chlorine with peroide and it came out I had to raise the PH.. I am confused..

My water is green, it used to be brown.. so I take it is an improvement. Wondering if I have metal in the pool. I need help.. I want to have my grandchildren over on the 5th..

Glad I found this forum..
Thank you...
