Hi all,
I have an Intex 15' above ground pool (holding approx 17,000 litres of water I think) which I set up about two weeks ago when we had some decent weather in London. Everything was fine until the weather changed last week and I turned the pool pump & heater off.
We're expecting some good weather starting tomorrow so yesterday morning I turned the heater and pump back on. This morning, whilst checking the temperature (29 degrees Celsius) I noticed that the pool water was a pea green and I couldn't see the bottom of the pool (It had a solar cover which is why I hadn't noticed before). I added 150g of stabalised chlorine granules dissolved in water) and then asked my father in law who has a similar set up and he gave me a 500g of calcium hypochlorite shock treatment which I then added to the intake of the filter and within 40 minutes all the green had gone but only to be replaced with cloudy water. It's been like this for a couple of hours now.
What should I do? Will it clear itself or must I add something?
Many thanks
Darren
