Hi All,
We are new to having a pool and are definitely experiencing growing pains. We have an inground pool. Pump is Hayward Superpump and filter is Hayward S 200 Series. After some technical difficulties, everything is up and running. However, now the pool is green (see photo below). We thought there was some dirt in the bottom of the pool, so we ran the polaris, but that made the water much cloudier and murkier. Pool guys came yesterday, put in a bottle of shock and algacide, noted that the "water is green," but did not do much else. Our TF-100 kit is in the mail (due to arrive tomorrow) and right now all we have is test strips. Chlorine was very low so we poured in a big bottle of clorox bleach last night as well. Any suggestions are much appreciated (if anyone is in Long Island and can help out in person, that would be incredibly helpful too). We are hoping to have the pool ready this weekend, though obviously the long-term condition of the pool is most important. Please let me know of any suggestions. Thanks.
