Hi guys
First off I am not a real pool geek. I own my 16 X 32 - 22K gallons gunite pool since 2014
I do not own a test kit (use test strips) but get my water tested without fail each week at the pool store. It has worked for me for the last 7 years
I had algae break out in 2014 and shocking got me clean pool within a few hours
Today, it seems to be a different situation:
Pool was crystal clear on Tuesday and water test was all good
Thursday, the pool is all green
I have had minor algae outbreaks maybe once or twice after 2014 and shocking has cleared it within a few hours
I put i one gallon of shock last night and 2 this morning with filter running since last evening at 5 PM and seems to have made no difference to the color
Got my water tested today (Friday) and except for high chlorine as expected all other chemicals are in balance
Filter gauge is at 23 (like always) and returns have a strong pressure
I was expecting a clearing pool when I woke this AM like it always has been but no such luck this time
Just put in some non chlorinating shock now and waiting
Thanks
