First time opening the pool and we cannot get clear water. We’ve taken water out and refilled but now we have blue water. Not sure what else to do? We’ve started using liquid chlorine, & have used clarifier. Any help is appreciated.
Welcome to the forum!
You need a proper test kit. I suggest the TF-100 A proper test kit is needed to get the accurate water chemistry results needed to follow the TFP protocols.
While you are waiting on your test kit, add 5 ppm FC worth of liquid chlorine / plain bleach to your pool each evening with the pump running. This will replenish the FC lost each day to the sun and also inhibit any algae in the water from growing further.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.
You need a reliable test kit. Pool Store tests as known for their lack of accuracy. If you drained and refilled your pool it is unlikely you really have 105 ppm of CYA (unless you added stabilizer). You can take a look in this post to have an idea.
