We have just bought a 15' above ground 4,000 gallon poolfrom WalMart about 2 weeks ago. It took a week to fill it up due to our not so good wellwater pump. After filling it up it took a couple of days to get the Aqua Chem kit with the chlorine tabs, shocker, and 6 way test strips. Well, during that time the pool turned green with algae. We did the steps and added the floating thing with the chlorine tabs and shocked it then the next day added the algaecide plus then shocked it again. Well, after a week it has started to clear up but still has a tad bit algae on bottom and is got a slight haze to it but would love it to be crystal clear water it started off to be. Also, the 6 way test strips keep saying there is no chlorine but everything else is reading normal and balanced, my husband says we need to add chlorine cause it shows we have none even though the floater with the tabs are in the pool but have barely dissolved and have kept my pump on 24/7 and the only vacuum made for these kind of pools are the kind you hook up to the hose which are not the best in the world. Someone said add chlorinating granule and someone else said not to but to add conditioning stabilizer! Help! We are so lost at this point and would love to be able to swim in the pool we bought over two weeks ago!
