Someone please help!!! I installed an Intex 20' above ground with the 1600 Series sand filter this summer. A friend who already had a pool gave me what I believed to be 1" chlorine tablets. My pool had been doing awesome all summer with running the filter 4-6 hrs a day and having the tablets in a floater and skimmer basket with only having to adjust the ph up maybe 2-3 times. I also shocked the pool once a week with the "shock plus blue" packet from walmart. I have had crystal clear blue water all summer until a week ago. I ran out of the tablets my friend had given me and bought some 1" chlorine tablets. I noticed that my water is now having a greenish tint. I called my friend and asked if he could get more of the tablets he gave me and only then did I find out that I had been putting BROMINE TABLETS in the pool all summer!
What can I do at this point to get my pool clear again? I have used approx. 2lbs of the chlorine tablets from walmart. Could I just start putting bromine tablets in the pool again? Last night I double shocked the pool and have the filter running all night.
Thanks,
Wesley
