Hello everyone, very happy to find this place. I just wish I would have found it a few days earlier. So I have tried to read some stuff and will continue to educate myself but wanted to get some advice quickly before I make any more mistakes. I just bought this house last year and the pool was crystal clear. We had a skimmer pipe clog and was unable to get the pool started in time before the warm weather kicked in and it turned green. I put about 20 pounds of shock in and used some liquid bleach. The pool is blue now or what I should say is very very cloudy. I talked to the pool store and they told me to put this Flock in and this stuff called Revive which you hose on top of the water? They said put in recirculate mode for 5 hours and then just let sit for a few days. So this is day number 2 and I am a little worried because I see no difference in clarity. I have already spent 500 bucks on chemicals so far and honestly am about tapped out. So I did order my own test kit based on what you guys recommend with the spinner. Till then I would like to get on the right track. Here was my read out before I put in the flock and revive.
FC = 0.18
TC = 0.29
CC = 0.11
PH = 8.6
Hardness = 187 PPM
Alkalinity = 23 ppm
Cyanic Acid = 84ppm
Copper = 0.1
Iron = 0.1
They told me not to add any chemicals until after this process? Is that correct? Im nervous by letting the pool sit that it will start to turn green again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would pictures of the pool or anything like that help?
