Pool still green

[duraleigh]

First of all, this forum wants to help clear your pool....that's the goal. That said, every single piece of advice we give is based on your test results.

The problem is the test results are not consistent or accurate. This has been the biggest problem we've had. note my earlier post:

Your pool has had some puzzling issues. My best guess is innaccurate testing methods.

I have no idea how to help you test accurately and, if we recommend a regimen, that regimen is not very helpful if the test results don't make sense.

The next time you test, post those results and we will all ASSUME those are accurate and base our suggestions on those results only....not anything previous....that's the only thing I can think of.

PS - skip the "nuclear shock"...in fact, you would do well to skip the pool store's advice

See i f you can find a different pool store that tests for metals. I would really like to know if there is copper or iron in your water.

OK gang, I got to a "better" pool store yesterday that confirmed my numbers (I guess I do have the aptitude for testing ). Evidently a TH of zero is a problem! Solution: 40 lbs of calcium chloride. This morning my pool is a crystal clear blue!
