Pool: Intex 15 x 48
Okay well first off the pool was filled with well water. I went to the pool store here and they told me to shock the pool and sold me a bag of the "poollife turborshock". I put it in the pool water and the next morning the water was coffee brown. So i waited over the weekend as they were closed until today. So i went out and got a pool sample to take with me the water was more green and could see to the bottom but barely. So here was the test results of the test:
Free Chlorine: 1.2ppm
Total Chlorine: 1.2 ppm
Combined Chlorine: 0ppm
pH: 7.7
Hardness: 116ppm
Alkalinity: 104ppm
Cyanuric Acid: 2ppm
Copper: 0ppm
Iron: 0.1ppm
They sold me a "poolife Intensive Stain Prevention", told me to put in 8 ounces and run the filter overnight. I did a check about 15 min ago and my readings are at:
pH 7.1-7.2
chlorine is barely reading, but was told not to add it till tomorrow after the Stain Prevention has had a chance to work. My question is what else can i do to get the water to a crystal clear rather then this Green. Below are a few pictures that i tried to get of the pool water color to give you more of what i talking about:
As you can see there is no visibility to the bottom and green as can be. Please help . Kids are just dying to go swimming.
