I am new to taking care of a pool. It was opened at the beginning of May and it turned a swamp-like, dark green about 5 weeks ago.
I shocked it and ended up killing the algae and after an application of floc and lots of vacuuming, the water is a light, cloudy green. Clarifying agents turn it into a slightly blue but still cloudy hue.
I've stopped using the clarifying agent (pool first aid) and have just been maintaining all my levels and yet the pool still has that green tint to it. I've had my water tested at the pool store, multiple times a week and the levels are within their recommended ranges, but the water still isn't clear. My goal is just to get the water clear and stop hemorrhaging money at the pool store.
I bought the test kit recommended by this site and here are my readings:
FC: 3
CC: 0
pH: 7.5
TA: 110
CYA: 20
CH: 260
I am unsure of where to go from here. Please help. Thank you.
