Hey there! So we just replaced our old liner, and had a new one installed. Once installed we filled it halfway and had to wait a few days for him to come out and cut in everything so we could finishing filling it. Luckily, the temperatures were still getting into the 40's at night and 50's during the day so I wasn't too worried about algae. Well, finally he got everything cut in, put 10 bags of salt in the pool and gave me 1 gallon of liquid stabilizer. Now I know that isn't enough to get everything started, so I went and purchased more salt and more stabilizer. By now, it is warming up (70's - 80's during the day) and I'm am worried about no FC or CYA in the pool . I give the salt time to dissolve (24 hours) and start the SWG. At this point the pool still looks good, but I can see the bottom of the deep end is not quite as clear as it should be. I test everything:
FC - 2
CC- 0
pH - 7.2
TA - 50
CH - 60
CYA - (too soon to test, but adding enough to get to 30)
I set the SWG at 100% to try and produce as much chlorine as possible, but when I check yesterday, the deep end is slightly greenish, while everything else is clear and blue. So I go ahead and start a SLAM, brushing everything and bringing the FC up to 12. It looks even worse today! Now everything is tinted green. I don't know what to do and I'm very frustrated that the company did not get the pool started or even give us the chemicals we needed to get started. I have a picture from when we first added the salt, about 4 days ago, and today. I did see that Chlorox Pool Salt can sometimes cause iron stains, he did use that for about half the salt, could that be the problem? Also, we have a ton of pollen still falling, but I am removing it daily, could that be an issue. I'm worried about staining or ruining or brand new liner. Any help is appreciated!
