We were going to do some changes to pool this spring, moving skimmer and replacing liner thinking the old one leaked....found that not to be true so just got around to opening pool 3 days ago. It was horrendous shade of green, added 2 gallon sanitizer, 12 bags of shock, 3 gallon regular bleach and 2 lb. stabilizer over past 3 days...it is now a grayish color. Took water sample to pool store today and they told me chemicals were all in range, no metals found. I have been running our Turbo Turtle and pulling bag after bag of leaves out of pool, I know there are a ton left in there, as we didn't cover pool in the fall. I guess my question(s) is this, with leaves in pool, will water clear enough that I can see what I am dealing with, I have even thought of going in water with manual leaf bag and dragging the bottom, have difficult time doing this from the side as I am a major weakling. Will keep adding shock and bleach daily, put in floater with 3 pellets tonight. Have drop kit and test strips, neither agreed with pool store readings, drop kit said to add stabilizer, they said don't. Any help would be appreciated, would hate to have drain pool. I have also been using filter cleaner and back washing 3-4 per day.
