Neighborhood Pool Problems: Runaround reasons

[gtty]

Our neighborhood pool has apparently tuned green and the pool company is giving a lame excuse, I think. Anyone care to give their opinion. This makes me glad I have my own pool

"Further investigations also revealed the phosphate levels and TDS (total dissolved solids) in the pool water are too high. When this occurs, the cleaning chemicals are rendered ineffective. The pool will be closed for at least the rest of this week for a total change-out of the pool water.

Thank you for your patience as these issues are addressed. Stay tuned for further updates."

Sounds like whoever is in charge of those chemicals needs TFP. I'll let experienced people answer the questions though, lol. [emoji5]

Neighborhood pool "pool stored." should be the caption

Clear green, probably copper. Someone must have bought copper based algaecide.

I bet if you tested the water the CYA would be sky high and THAT is what is keeping the FC from "working".

Unfortunately being considered a public pool if the CYA is sky high then adjusting the FC to the appropriate level is not possible, so even if their reasoning is bunk a drain and fill is the solution to the problem. Fun tidbit, phosphates prevent pipe corrosion so most municipal supplies have "high" phosphate levels coming out of the tap. The refill water will likely be just as high in phosphates yet miraculously not be green. Must be magic.

My advice, don't use public pools. Also, hire a new pool company.

We haven't been to the neighborhood pool in years. I'm just watching teh drama on the neighborhood message board.
