Air Leak? (from bad O-rings in Jandy valves)

[JohnT]

Something new yesterday, when adding chlorine, the pool went from crystal clear to clear minty green. Whats up with that?

Any chance that the pool has had a non-chlorine sanitizer used previously? Most people describe the color when chlorine is added to a Baquacil pool as being like Mountain Dew.

Only if the renters-from-hell used that stuff, or the pool guy they called to rescue them. I use the BBB method myself.

Replaced the o-rings in the Jandy valve, and it appears all air leaks are gone!!!!!!!! YEE HAW !! Now, lets see if the solar panels are still working and not leaking air or water.

MUCH THANKS to all !!!!!

John could be right on the Bacquacrap. Your renters could have been looking for an easy maintenance schedule and taken in by the glossy claims of that junk. Then you get stuck with the undoo.

How do I figure out what is actually in the pool, and how do I get rid of it?

I think I'd take a water sample to a pool store and ask them to test for Baquacil and maybe copper.
