Hello folks,
I'm new to the site and I was hoping to get some advice on my pool. It's been green for 3 weeks now and nothing I do seems to clear it up. I went to the pool store and bought something called Stop Green and poured that in the pool with a pack of shock and brushed everything really good, but it didn't seem to do much. There was a small improvement, but nothing huge. The guy at the pool store said that product works when the pool looks like a swamp.
When I test with my test strips the chlorine is basically white, the pH looks a little too pink for the ideal range, and the alkalinity is hard to tell but looks like it is ok. I don't even know what the total hardness is. Any advice would be much appreciated. I just moved into this house never had a pool before and I inherited a mess!
