We have an Intex Metal Frame 20x4. This is our !st year opening. Last year we took it down and stored it but it was a MESS to redo $$$$. This year we left it up and did not cover it and are trying to open by next week. Cleaned out leaves and shocked pool with bleach. Worked for a day and then back green! Tried the BBB system yesterday and no help. Went to pool center today and got test strips and stabalizer. Did test BEFORE putting stabalizer and results are. Ph is 8.4 (high), Free Chlor is 0 (low), Total Alk between 180 & 240 (high) and stabalizer is 0 low. We just put in stabalizer in sock. PLEASE help. We want to learn how to open the pool so later we can upgrade to a hard side pool. We really want to learn the tricks of the trade on our own without taking water samples and etc. I have NO idea what else to do so will someone PLEASE walk us through this to get our pool back. Oh BTW this is also a SWG pool. We have NOT added any salt and generator is unhooked until this clears up. The pump is running with filter 24/7. Thanks for your time! :?: :?:
