Hi forum, i just moved to the house with a swimming pool and have decided to maintain it by myself. I knew nothing
So basically it was ok for monthes, untill i left for couple days, it was green when i came back.
I was using triple action chlrine tablets, ph minus, ph plus.
readings on time pool was green:
Chlorine 0
PH 7.4
Alkalinity 200
So i have read guides how to shock the pool (all of them =).
First i moved alkalinity to 110 with dry acid.
Then i raised PH (it dropped after dry acid ) to 7.2 back
Added 1.5kg granular chlorine (my pool is 42000 litres, or 10 000 gallons)
Pump on 24h (sand filter)
in 36 hours (it took way more, then i expected) pool was blue, but cloudy. i was happy, i have added some alkaecide
in 48 hours (PH, Chlorine, Alkalinity = normal) Pool went green again!
Shocked it again (1.2 kg of granular chlorine) > filter on non-stop
in 36 hours its still cloudy and green
Readings same
CChlorine above 3.0
PH 7.2
Alkalinity 110
P.S when i say pool is green,i mean it has no debris, and if i try hard, i can see the silhouette of bottom drain (deep is 1.8 metres)
P.S i tried to add periodically clarishock, algaecide with brightener. Nothing helps
