This weekend the pool was sparkling clear. Last night I checked the Chlorine= low to none and PH=looked to be in the acceptable range. Brushed, vaccumed, and shocked with one pound and within the hour the pool was clear green. Added algeacide this morning and turned on pump. At lunch I went home and the pool was still clear and more of a blue green. Took water sample to the pool store about an hour ago and the results are up top. I was told to shock with two pounds and check in 4 hours, if chlorine was normal or high, then add 8 pounds od alk up/baking soda. I just want to know what the thinking was here. This is only my second year with the pool but I don't ever recall shocking a clear "blue" pool and having it turn green in front of my eyes.
Thanks
