Hello,
My name is Bryan and I am new to pool. I just purchased my first house and was ecstatic about the pool. It is a 18x36 ft pool with a deep end not sure of depths so i don't have the gallons yet. I had an inspection done on the pool prior to purchasing the house. There was to much snow to pull the entire cover off so the pool company told me but they looked over the plumbing and sand filter and said it was good.
I finally pull the cover off the pool and it was filthy. Very dirty and dark green. i took some pictures and went over to my local pool store. I blindly bought 10 gallons of liquid chlorine 2 buckets of ph plus and a bottle of algicide per there recommendation. They told me to get the pump running and start adding everything they gave me. so i did. The pump has ran for over 24 hours and the pool is still very green. My concern is that my levels are crazy and i don't know if i need to fix them first. According to the strip my ph is through the roof darker than any level on the chart.
I don't know why I didn't turn to this website first but now i need help.
On a separate note i think the pool has 2 jets but i can only find one. I will post a picture of the pump tomorrow to show my reasons for thinking that. I found one in the deep end but that is all.
Thank you in advance,
Bryan
