Brownish green and filter was brown when I cleaned it. How do I fix? From what I read it's caused by iron. Thanks

It's green and clear. I have a water softener which I had on for most of the fill. One day I turned it off to put about 1/3 of the water in.

Hello I filled my 14' Intex pool with my well water over the last few days. Last night I put the reccommended amount of bleach in and stabilizer in. This morning I woke up to a green pool with the stabilizer all laying in the bottom of the pool. I vaccummed out the pile of stabilizer and...

Thanks for te input. I can see the squares today and it is holding chlorine well.. Maybe I had a mild case of algae? Or should I still be shocking it even know I can see the squares and it's back to blue? I am just using test strips right now and since shocking it 2 days ago it hasn't dropped...

I will have to check out that overnight test.. I have tested a couple times today and it is still at shok level from last nights treatment.. Does that mean te chlorine is "done" fighting the algae? Or that the sun just didn't burn much off? I ran out of bleach so I just put what I had left in...

I was actually looking into a unicel filter. Woke up this Morning to a much bluer pool. Still some cloudiness but Most of the green is gone! Hosed out my green filter and hoping for it to clear up now. Tested for chlorine and it's still up in the higher level shock amounts and it's a cloudy...

I see the shock level area now. So I repeat the high dosage of bleach until it clears up? Is it better to cover the pool or not? On the refilling of the pool. It cost 65 to have water trucked in. I have a well but worry I would run it dry filling a pool up. Plus my water has sulfur in...

It's just te "Krystal clear" pump that comes with the pool with a type a paper filter

I use that but how do I figure out a shock level? Is there an area to do that? I use te calculator to figure out how much bleach to add but that's about the extent of it.. Sorry for my noobness...

And do I keep my pump running? Or turn it off so the algae can sink to the bottom?

Thanks for the responses.. So how do I determine a shock level for a pool my size? Sorry I am new at this...

Hello, I have been using bleach to chlorinate all summer with no issues.. now in the past week we have had some rain storms and some cloudy/greenish colored water. What Do I do to clear this up? I just replaced the filter a couple days ago in hopes of clearing up the water, that has not...

I tied the hoses up and over the direction they needed to go with shoe strings.. No more sagging hoses..

Thanks for the links! And haha on the tiki torch. U must not of seen the one laying in its side in the pic? I just stuck those in the fire pit to mow grass. I don't know if I have the cahonies to jack it up. I may give it a week or so to see if it gets worse before I get into that task.. I...

Pics to see what u think about the slight lean: leaning post. Also is it normal for the hose to make hang and pull like u see on right side of this pic? Does that on both inlet and outlet ^

One more question before I do this. Should I take the basket out? Or pour it into the basket?

Ok so I think it's telling me to add 19 oz. just slowly pour that into the skimmer? Just to make sure I'm correct with this calculator. On the left input area that is the ppm correct? So I put 3500 gal for the pool size and 0 for the CYA level out of 40 and it tells me 19oz. Sound like in...

ok. I got hth stabilizer and conditioner(sounds like beads in container). What now? It says to add it to the skimmer. i don't know how much to add? the chart shows 10k gallons and up. I know it was suggested earlier to go with 40PPM..so the chart says to put 4lbs in for a 10k gallon pool so...

Thanks! I will pick up some stabilizer today and add that and bleach this evening. Also should I be concerned that 4 of my posts are leaning out on one side of the pool and it appears to be a slight low spot?

Thanks! So the cya or stabilizer will help keep chlorine in longer?

Hello I just put up a 14'x42" intex ultra pool. I filled it by water truck and filtered well water. I browsed this site and found the "pool calculator". I tested the water last night and obviously had 0 FC in the water. I put that in to the calculator and it said to add 22oz of 6%bleach. I did...
