Please help... I came home on Sunday from being gone 4 days...When I left the water was nice and clear, came home midday Sunday and the water was bright green...
After I pulled my hair out I shocked the pool to death (powder and liquid). I added 2 tablets of chlorine and put a container of stabilizer in a sock and hung it over the side (busted it open and spread it out Tuesday). Started the pump and was running it most of the day now, stopping to clean the filter... The pool is 5500 gallons above ground 4ft x 16ft..
Mondays readings
free chlorine 1.0
total chlorine 1.0
calcium 180.0
cyanuric acid 50.0
ph level 7.4
total alkalinity 130.0
Wednesdays readings (today)
free chlorine 5.0
total chlorine 5.0
calcium 180.0
cyanuric acid 60.0
ph level 7.6
total alkalinity 160.0
Sunday green, Monday blue/green, Tuesday more blue than green, Wednesday blue and very cloudy...
I don't want to drain if I can save it..
Any and all help would be awesome...
thank you
