    First Pool - No Idea what to do - Chlorine levels are good according to test strip - Cloudy water after starting to vacuum

    Hey first time trying to open/maintain a pool (officially starting to hate it already) Ok so long story short, we bought a house with a pool. The house was the nicest one in our price range so we went for it, I would have preferred no pool and a larger yard...but here we are with the wife and...
