Please help! This is my first time to use an online forum.
We bought our home last July and have had no issues at all maintaining it (we are first-time pool owners). We did not close it down for the winter so we were able to jump right in this Spring.
I went out of town two weeks ago and left instructions for my husband (I am the primary care-giver for the pool). We had EXCESSIVE amounts of rain while I was gone. I returned yesterday to an extremely cloudy pool and it will not hold chlorine.
