I opened the pool cover last week (8 days today) and started testing and treating the pool. My levels seem to be normal now but there is still a lime green color to the pool. No algae seems to be present (no slime on walls). Here are my stats:
5 way test kit
Above ground pool - 5,000 gal (Intex)
Water results: Chlorine 6 ppm
PH 7.4
TA 50 ppm
I normally wouldn't test for TA until I read a post on another site that sounded like the problem I'm facing but I didn't see any more responses from the OP. Any idea on what I can do? I'm also reading that having an above ground vinyl pool changes the required TA ppm needed, any input on that as well is appreciated.
