Hello!
new to the forum and the pool ownership world. So far...MISERABLE! After spending my life savings at the pool store it seems, I came across this forum, read some articles and this approach makes much more sense to me. I just finished pool school, albeit pretty quickly, so I'll read through again. My TF-100 is on the way, but I tested with my cheapo over the counter test kit and this is what I have as of now: total chlorine is zero. (Kind of surprised by this it's been perfect till now). PH:8.2 TA:450 CH:650 CYA:6.5. I have been battling this pool since we moved in a month ago. From clear to cloudy to greenish to yellowish green. Pool store said chemicals were perfect. Kept doing what I was doing, keeps getting worse. I'm hoping I'm having a pollen issue and not a mustard algae problem. I have a Polaris P825 that cleans up nicely, but small particulate just gets blown back out of the filter and clouds up the pool. Then it resettles. I feel like I'm close with this thing, but I can't seem to get it under control so that I can enjoy myself. Any help is appreciated, and I look forward to learning from you all!
