Hi all,
I opened my pool after a strange winter here, not cold and practicaly no snow.
We also had unusually hot days early this spring. So the pool had a lot of dirt, leafs and algea, it was dark brown !!
It's also my first year opening it with a salt system.
So I opened it like I did for the last 10 years, and it took 4 days to clear (instead of two the other years), but it was very yellow, the testing indicate a very high level of PH, so I lowered it with acid.
Now the parameters are within limits, the water is clear but it's green like gatorade! and it has a slight smell.
I can't post the water level numbers because here, in Canada, we only have cheap testing kits without level on it.
I found a company that sell a testing kit that seem decent: Hanna HI-3825, here's the link,

Any advice on getting my water recover it's natural color would be very appreciated, also advices on the kit would help me decide to buy it or not.
Thanks
