Our water is green and brown looking. I do not think it is any kind of algae because nothing feels slimey. I have been brushing the pool about 4 times a day. When I do this it makes the water look even worse. I only have the type of vacuum that hooks to a garden hose and it really does not work very good. I have always had the proper chlorine levels in the pool. This is new city water in the pool. My filter pump is still pumping and still has the same water pressure as always. I am really getting frustrated this year, because the last 2 years my water was always clear. Also, my PH levels keep going up and no one has even been in the pool. Even though I had no CC levels, I shocked the pool last week.

18x48 intex frame set pool
FC 2.0
CC 0
TC 2.0
PH 7.8 (yesterday 7.6)
Alk 140
CAL 350
CYA 35

I have been using the PS233 kit to test.

Should I take a water sample to the pool store?

Would a water clarifier or something else help?

Is there a better vacuum I can use on this type of Pool?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
