Hi,
I have been lurking for a while and trying to learn as much as I can, but I could use some help from experienced people. The situation is this: we just bought a house with a pool (or rather 2 pools: a lap pool and a square pool). The issue is that we have not moved in yet and I cannot go there every day (or can drop by only briefly), so I cannot go through a SLAM. Right now the water is blue but I started to see cloudiness and a green tint. I did a check of the PH, FC and CYA (with one of the recommended test kits) and got:
FC:0
CYA:90
PH:7.6
My question is how do I keep things from going really bad until I can start a proper maintenance (in about 2 weeks)? Also, I have not looked at the filters (DE) but I assume they are completely dirty (I don't yet know how to clean them). What I've been doing up to now if taking a couple of gallons of bleach with me every time I go by the house and dumping in both pools as well as trying to take as many leaves and random stuff out of the water and skimmers as possible.
Any help much appreciated!
