Hello,
I started trying to open my pool 3 weeks ago, and when I introduced a shock treatment and a higher level of FC, the water turned greenish or yellow color. It is only a small reflection, I can see the bottom of the above ground pool easily (27 footer with 52 inches walls).
Now I tried all kinds of chemical products that a local company suggested and finally last night I decided to drain the entire pool.
I scrubbed the walls, and I used a vinyl cleaner on the entire liner. Then I redrained the remaining water.
So late last night I introduced bleach at 10.3% just a small quantity because it is still low, barely touching the sides on the walls.
So this morning the water is the exact same color that it was prior of draining the water.
I took two samples, one from the middle of the pool and one from the side of the pool (because it looks worst in the middle then it does from the side) and another sample from my tap water. (the water used to fill the pool is from a well).
And of coarse you can easily see visually which one is contaminated.
Now, what am I doing wrong here, should I have acid wash the entire vinyl surface??
Regards
Phil
