This is my first year with a pool (AG 16x32) and I'm currently dealing with my first water problem. Here are the details: We went on vacation for 10 days and came back to a green pool (neighbor said it turned green 3 days after we left). When we returned I began to dump plenty of liquid shock and granual shock (not to mention a couple of different Algae destroyer products)to maintain high FC levels. It has been 2 weeks since we returned and although the color has improved and gone from a pea soup to a tealish color, it is still not clear. Currently my readings are:
PH 7.6
FC 10 (has been for the past 2 weeks)
CYA 40
TA 120
We have a cartridge filter (which I have rinsed and chemically cleaned since returning) I have also been brushing the walls and vacuuming and running the pump 24/7. We also have a Nature 2 sanitizer which I have not cleaned (per MFG directions), is it just a matter of waiting longer (most people I've talked to said it should have been clear by now), or is there something else I should be using or doing to clear the pool?
Thank You all in advance.
