Need some advice.
Seems our above-ground pool turned green over a course of a few days (we were on vacation). I have done these steps so far: tested water and the FC&TC are pretty much nil, ph and alkalinity are good (7.4-7.6), CYA is 0 though. Unfortunately, I didn't have any CYA on hand as it's Sunday and the store is closed. I then cleaned the pool of debris, by the way, I had a pool cover on it while we were gone. I think I may have reverse a step, I added my shock first, then my algaecide, instead of algaecide first run pump then add x3 shock, should this matter or can I just add shock again? Going to run the pump 24/7 for the next few days until it is clear while cleaning the filter out x2 per day.
Have I missed anything? Any advice? Appreciate any and all feedback!
