Hello everyone, I am Phil and I live in France. Just bought the house and this is my first pool.
My pool is a 10x5m in ground, with sand filter and a bubble cover. Back end of April, I opened the pool, all went well with no issues and have been using it since.
Last Thursday I noticed a light cover of green on 1 wall, so I scrubbed the pool, added some chlorine tablets as it was a little low, and then some anti algae. Pool was clear and lovely.
Friday I noticed it a little cloudy, so I used some flocculant. Sat AM, moderatley cloudy-could barely see the bottom (1.5m deep). Pump has been running 24/7 with regular back flushing.
Tested the water, low chlorine. Shocked the pool, and then realised my pool tester was faulty on ph setting-borrowed a friends and the PH was at 6.6-6.7. Added PH up and some clarifier, and right now its still cloudy, but the ph is OK ish, maybe slightly high, the chlorine is high as expected and there is a small amount of green on the bottom which I have vacuumed out.
What am I doing wrong? Its driving me mad. Do I just need to be more patient? Thank you for any and all help-I need it!
