First post, total newbie, sick of not knowing how to care for my pool so I've been reading this site a lot in the past few days. We've been fighting a cloudy, algae infested pool for 2 weeks now and I can't clear it. Got my TF-100 kit today and have the results:
FC - 12
CC - 13
pH - 7.3
TA - 180
CH - 300
CYA - 110
Over the past week the algae has gotten worse. Last night I went to Leslie's, yes, I know, probably not smart, and got a 4 lb container of Green to Clean and 9 lbs of their Super Chlorine. I was adding Borax and Bleach for the past week trying to kill it without an algaecide. Nothing was working and we were frustrated I couldn't clear it up. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I set up a little PVC fountain to aerate it a little as no one has been in it for 3 weeks now. I'm back washing every other day so I'm filling the pool for a couple hours a day off my un-softened well.
Thanks in advance for any input.
