Thanks Richard. I left a white towel in the skimmer overnight, and this morning the towel is brown and my water almost perfect again!! I'm really surprised at how well that worked. Thanks for the help. Still not sure what caused it. Something must have happened in my filter or lines over that 6...

Well...the paper towel test is not looking good. After a few hours the paper towels are now an orangish brown. Looks like probably metals are present. Last time this happened I needed to replace the water. I'm just not sure what caused it, and if new water will also turn green because maybe my...

Even more confused now. I went out to vac and clean, and I noticed some very small amounts of algae growing along the edges of my steps. Is it possible that the green water is just algae and it didn't show itself until I turned my filter back on after 6 days? Is there any chance an algae bloom...

Thank you. I will try that. My staining issues from before never got better, so a couple years ago I replaced the liner, and got new water. Never had the issue again after that. Not sure if that changes how you think of this particular issue.

Cool. That's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks.

I'll try to post some pix soon. Yea, I add DE until my PSI increases by 1. After a day it seems to jump up another 6-7 PSI and stop. That's when I backwash it. I know it's only 4 days, and I'm sure there is a lot of work to do to kill the algae, I was just curious if anyone else had noticed the...

Yea. Been testing and adjusting 2-3 times a day. Steady FC between 15-20ppm.

Hello everyone. I've been reading up on this site since last year (1st full summer with pool), and it's been very helpful. I opened my pool this past Sunday to find a swamp like many others. Tested water with Taylor K-2006 and came up with the following: FC-0, TA-90, PH-7.0, CYA- Less than 30...
