Welcome to the forum. Please help us help YOU by adding a signature line to your profile listing all your pool particulars like mine below. Please consider ordering one of our recommended test kits in pool school. We rarely diagnose anything with out you listing pool test results ( even from the pool store). I invite your to read through the basics in Pool School.

Mizztee, I'll second the advice get one of the recommended test kits. It may seem pricy at first, but what it will save you in chemicals you don't need and the headache/heartache of a cloudy or green pool will make it worth every penny and then some. I've had a pool for almost twenty years, switched this year to the methods I learned on this site, and my pool looks OUTSTANDING. Better than it has ever looked, and it's EASY - with the right test kit.

You can do it! If you follow the advice you'll receive here, your pool will be sparkly in no time.

If you want to clear that pool up your going to need one of these Test Kits. Get the TF-100 with the XL option. It has the extra reagents needed to help clear that pool up.

Welcome!

People have cleared far worse than your mess. Here's some inspiration. I like the pictures more than all the discussion, myself.

Just do what they did! It starts with test results you can trust, not "free" tests done by someone who makes a living selling pool chemicals.
