We bought this house during the winter and had the same folks open it as the previous owners. It’s a salt water fiberglass in pool, approximately 20X40. Wet have had nothing but trouble. Using the Clorox app to treat the water, had been little help. Every fall we close the pool with the kits, every spring the pool is loaded with mud. I end up draining and refilling after spending $$$ on pool stuff. So I’ve drained it and pressure washed it. So what do I need to do this year to make this thing work right.
 
Stop using the Clorox app.
Download and use the free PoolMath app.

Purchase a proper test kit and learn how to test your own pool water. Order one with salt testing as you have a saltwater pool.
Test Kits Compared

Do you fill your pool with municipal water? If so, fill it and add 1 gallon of liquid chlorine (LC) - purchase at Walmart or Home Depot.
Purchase at least 10 gallons of the LC.
Don’t turn on the saltwater chlorine generator (SWCG) until we have a full set of test results.

Once you get a test kit, post a set of test results. we understand it won’t be perfect if this is first time testing but practice will help.
We are here to help.
