Hello
Here is an update of what has happened lately. In response to a piece of advise from the long haired general (what a mistake) we contacted the guy who built the pool for us as she wanted his opinion. He told her to use the remainder of the chemicals that he used to clean the water after the pool was filled for the first time. This water was from the local reservoir and very dark green in colour, but whatever it was he put cleared the water in a few days. I had hoped for a similar result. Three days ago I put in the chemical ( Thai name Saan Dtom?) no English translation available, it is a white granular substance that turned the water into a colour similar to that of watery milk. After two days the water had cleared a little where I was able to see a white powdery substance laying on the bottom of the pool. I tried to vacuum it away but only succeeded in stirring up the remaining chemical rendering it impossible to see the bottom of the pool again. I suppose after a lot more vacuuming I might get the water clear again. Has anybody living in Thailand had a similar experience or knows the name of a chemical used for such a purpose.
I did a test this morning and found FC at 1.5 and CC at .5. I did not bother to do anymore as it seemed pointless.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received
Mike
