Opening last year was a breeze. Water was clear, still had chlorine in it, and was up to correct levels within a couple of days.
I have had this pool for 35 years and this opening has been my most challenging.
Pool was a cloudy light green color upon opening. Began filtering, brushing walls and floor, but could not see beyond the first step. SLAMed the pool for the last 3 days and still no improvement. So far, I have used 26 gallon of 10% chlorine, back-washed twice a day and getting less and less of white colored backwash each time. Pool almost looks like light green marble with no change in visibility.
CH - 300
TA - 150
FC - 31
CC - 1.5
CYA - 0 at opening, have added 7 LB of stabilizer - cannot measure cya due to cloudy water in test tube. - guessing 30ppm
Any assistance would be appreciated.
