We just recently purchased a short sale home with a 16x32 in ground liner pool. The water in the pool has been sitting for a year!It was brown had numerous frogs bugs and who knows what else living in it.Prior to finding myself here I added some plain shock with little results.We had pool's growing up and I know we never had issues but they wre smaller pools that never were this bad.I called my dad and told him I was going to try using bleach and he was like are you crazy? Any ways I added 4 gallons to start and after a Few days it started clearing up so I added 4 more.I have been brushing the bottom etc and just loads of brown Nasty algae and sludge were turning up.That was a week ago,I have the bottom pretty clean but the pool still is very milky and you can see all the white algae in the water when the light is on.I just ordered the Tf100 so I know we're my levels are at.My question is I seemed to have reached a dead end,should the filter get all this out?(sand filter) or is it possible the particles being so small they pass through?Any advice?
