Hey everyone, I just want to start off saying I'm a complete noob when it comes to pools. I just bought my first home and it came with inground pool... It had a brand new green safety cover on. I pulled the cover off and the pool was extremely green. Since I'm new to the whole pool thing I went to local pool guy to try and get some info and instructions. Turns out the pool guy closed my pool two years ago and it hasn't been opened since. Anyway I had the guy come out and open the pool. He dumped 3lbs of shock into the pool on Monday and told me to leave the pump on 24/7 and backwash every couple hours. I followed his instructions and the pool is still hulk green... I got frustrated went out and bought algicid and dumped 32 onces of that stuff into pool last night. Again I'm a super noobie in need of some guidance. I have pictures but I don't know how to post them to thread. Can someone please point me in the right direction and school school me in this whole pool thing....
