What about phosphates? Are we concerned about those and should we use a preventative? Just something else my "pool store guy" told me.

Thank you Linen! I think these instructions will help. It looks like I was doing some things wrong, like not letting the water get to room temp before testing and holding the test tube at about waist level (mine was at chest level roughly, too close to my face obviously!). I wi ll do these tests...

The water temp is 64 degrees F, and no I didn't know to test it at room temp. I think I do rememeber reading something about that now, but thought it pertained to something else. I could go back out tonight and get a sample and let it get to room temp. if that would help matters. I am up for...

Ok, the CYA 0 reading was the pre shock reading 24 hours prior to the pool truning green. I shocked this morning around 10:30 am CST, and the CYA 100ppm reading was taken this afternoon around 4pm CST - after shock. Pool store guy said to put the whole tub of Chlor-Bright in - so 8 lbs.

Just checked water temp and it is 62 degree F, which has gone up 4 degree since Saturday afternoon. The water is getting increasingly cloudy and green (which is freakin me out a little, I won't lie). As I statd in my original post, we are completely new at this, so I'm not sure if it needs to be...

Long story short, bought a house with a pool last August and got the pool closed okay last fall, but have "opened it" now and have some questions. Have a 33' round above ground pool, that I have been told, holds 27,900 gal. It has a Sta-Rite Sand Filter and 1.5 HP pump. It has a Mineral Springs...
