Re: Green intex pool
Do you have a cartridge or sand filter? Has your Taylor kit come yet? Do you know your CYA concentration? If you have the cartridge filter, take the filter out for now, turn the pump on and leave it on. If you don't know your CYA (cyanuric acid - AKA stabilizer) level, I'd get the chlorine up to about 15ppm every evening just before sundown. When the pool goes from green to cloudy blue/gray put the filter back in the pump and continue to run it until the water clears up. It will take a week or more for the cartridge filter to clean up the dead algae.
I would recommend that you go to PoolSolutions.com and read everything there. This page is helpful for starters - http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/best...e-chart.html#a
Also if you haven't already, read this - http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...p-routine-care.
64 oz of 8.25% bleach will raise free chlorine by about 7 ppm in 6000 gallons of water.
Good Luck!!!
