I've got a 8200 gal above ground pool with a cartridge filter and a SWG. I live in rural Nova Scotia Canada. I set the pool up 6 weeks ago. I couldn't get a water truck to come fill it. I filled it with water out of my tap which is feed by a natural spring. Initially I had sediment in the pool which caused a brown cloudy looking water. Now my pool is still cloudy but has a green cast to it. It doesn't appear to be algea its just green. I have used non-chlorine shock, hypochlorite, and algeacide. Haven't noticed a change. Any ideas? The last test I did this am was FC 5.1 PH 7.2 and ALK 88 with an Aqua check digital strip reader. I tried the regular compare colour strips but I couldn't determine the colours, I have a diffencency in colour definition (partial colour blindness). I would like to have the water Proffesionaly tested but can't find a shop locally (within 150 miles) that can test it.
