Hello everyone,
This is my first post. YEAH!!!! Seriously owning a pool should not be this hard, but let me tell you a little about my pool to start off with. 33,000 gallon L shaped, vinyl liner, sand filter pool. Sand filter cleaned and replaced with zeo sand on 5/6/12. I didn't open my pool last year because of a lot going on and finances and still have the stress but I'm a single mom and like screw it this year I will open this dang pool. So I opened my pool a couple weeks ago and really it never was green. Just looked dirty. And still looks milky blue. Since opening it I have put tons of bleach(6), liquid chlorine (15)and 15 bags of shock in with as well as 6 liters of phosfree, and 1 quart of sea klear for my phosphates. LAst time I checked I still had like 300 phosphates but everyone I've talked to say its time to shock the heck out of this pool and get it clear because once I do that then I shouldn't have any phosphates. I have also put in metal free, and algecide. Anyway I am on my way to the pool store in 5 min to get my water tested and see if they have a test kit to get myself since driving 30min to get my water tested isn't all that pratical. I'm just giving a brief history before I come back with my numbers. Cause seriously I'm ready to be a pool expert and get this taken care of. Thanks in advance
