Good Morning!
I have a 22 foot round above ground pool with a 4600 gph sand filter. This is our second season with the pool. Last summer was perfect and trouble free. We covered our pool with a winter cover that let water through but kept leaves and yuck out. About 3 weeks ago i decided it was warm enough to open the pool. In an effort to shorten the story, I dumped all the stuff on top of the cover into the pool. Lesson learned. So, after raking and sweeping and filtering and chlorinating, we finally got everything out from the cover. Now our pool is full, and transparent with a green tint. I can't get the green to go away. I am not sure if it is algae or green from metals in the well water that we used to fill. Is there an easy way to tell and do I need to drain my pool and have water trucked in? My readings are:
FC 10
Ph 7.2
Alakinity 120
hardness 200
CYA 0 we haven't added stabilizer yet.
