Hello,
So trying to open the pool for the season. My husband temporarily worked for a pool company and used their advice to open this year, he shocked the pool and added algecide... Well, it didn’t work and looks worse than it did. I am now trying to clear this mess. I did add a stablizer as the cya was at zero, it’s now up to 35. I am in the middle of slamming it, but not seeing any changes at all with the color. I know it takes time but I’d expect to see at least a little algae gone. I am brushing it daily. I have included a picture.
Please tell me what I need to do. Could the algecide he put in be affecting things?
Having a kids party next weekend and was hoping to have it ready, but I think what he did is causing more problems and delays.
My numbers as of this morning are:
FC: 8
CC: 0.8
PH: 7.4
TA: 110
CH: 300
CYA: 35
