New to the board, just discovered this BBB method, which I'm using this season, and it seems to be going fairly well so far. Water was nice & clear yesterday until I added salt.
I searched this board for salt and green and didn't turn up anything. I just added salt to our pool yesterday, and this morning, the deep end looks a weird green. My son said it looked that way last night. I put 3 quarts of bleach in after the kids got out.
A Google search turned up an answer on Yahoo saying it was probably due to a high metal content in the water.
I ordered a better test kit which should be here this week. I hope I can read the chlorine levels better with it because a lot of these test kits, new or old, the top 3 levels look about the same.
As it is now,
FC is somewhere between 3 and 5?
ph 7.8
