sorry about the delay I've had some pc problems lately and didn't want to enter any personal info buying anything. Reason I hadn't bought a kit yet , But anyhow I got my water tested at a different store and the CYA tested at 83 so I'm not sure weather I should drain it more or just leave it as...

I just noticed your in Silver Spring,MD.. I have family in Rockville!!!

I would say about 1/3. I don't have a kit right now. I'm ordering a TF100, so only an pool store test for right now.. Everytime I test is at 100, so I guess their test doesn't show over 100??

Ok, well this is turning out to be a chore. I have drained an refilled and still not below 100 CYA. And without my knowledge my father came by earlier this week and dumped algaecide in it when I wasn't home, to try to help me out. :rant: But the pool does look better, although still a little...

I wasn't going to add it. I was more or less asking could that be contributing to the problem. Cause I seen that it causes staining, was wondering if it also would green the water. I don't have much staining at all. Or didn't last time I saw the bottom.. :P

Well I don't have a good test kit. I usually get my water tested at the pool store right around the corner when I have problems.

My pool is a nice shade of green, an I can't get it to clear up? I'm new to this forum. So I am reading the pool school. Although I am not finish I want to start this post so I could get a jump on things. Here are my water test results and pics from today. 17K gal in ground concrete/marcite...

Well the old store that I was going to wasn't that to bad about trying to sell you something. Thats what I liked about it. It was more of a pool cleaning service company with a storefront. They would take the time to write out what was wrong , steps how to fix it. I never got any bad advise from...
