Didn't think it would be this hard

[bulldog1966]

Bought a 10 feet easy up pool for the grandkids they loved it last weekend when they stayed over.after they left we put the cover on and forgot about it four a couple of days took the cover of and the the water was dark green my wife read on another site about bleach so she added two 750ml bottles of thick bleach to it and ran the pump for most of the day the water now looks clear.will this hurt the dog cause she keeps drinking the water n other chemicals have been added.

Occassionally no.....constantly is not a good idea....for the dog OR you! Any CYA in there? Ph level? TA level? It is easy with a test kit we recommend. Welcome! Spend some time in pool school and arm yourself.

It is less than 2000 gallons. How often are they there using it? I would consider just draining it and starting over. Then follow the suggestions here:

Welcome to tfp, bulldog1966

she added two 750ml bottles of thick bleach

If by thick you mean splashless, I wouldn't use that anymore. Use the plain old no additives bleach...don't use anything that says spashless, scented, or "outdoor".

waiting for a test kit but just checked ph and its 8.1 nothing else has been added since the bleach and its holding about nine hundreed gallons of water.

checked it with a digital ph meter not test strip

Did your test kit come in? pH readings are inaccurate when the chlorine level is above 10. If you post a full set of results, we can help with what to do next.

Good quality digital ph meters are not affected by high FC levels. However, they are expensive and need frequent calibration.
