Hi all,
I'm totally new on this, so I hope you can give me some guidance.
I work in a place with a swimming pool and last week it got dark green. The owner told us to put liquid oxigen, he said it would make it transparent, so we did, and it got blue but still very cloudy. So he said to put more oxígen, so we did again, but it didn't change much, so I did a drop test for ph and chlorine, and the ph was very high (8.2 or more) and the chlorine was 0 (which is normal because while we were putting oxígen we were not putting anything else). At that point we went to the pool store to ask for advice and they said to use ph minus, chlorine shock (dichloro) and Flocculant, which we just did, but now the chlorine is near 0 again, so I'm wondering if after the Flocculant does it's job and I clean the swimming pool I should add normal chlorine to rise the levels or should I shock it again? (that would be 48h after the first shock). Also, we are only testing ph and chlorine at the moment, and I'm going to buy more tests on Monday, but would it be safe to swim tomorrow if the ph and chlorine are within range?
Thanks,
Luisa
