Hi everyone, I'm new this forum and I learnt about this forum through a friend and I was hoping you guys can help me with pool situation.
My pool has turned completely green algae and here are the things that I've tried so far:
Pool size - 15,000 gallons
Pump running time - 12 - 16 hours
Pool cartridge - replaced with new one's just 30 days ago
1st water test and recommended treatment - 128oz muriatic acid and 15lb of pool shock, 1lb of stabilizer over course of 4 days; the pool started to turn cloudy. we'd to travel for a week and the water had turned completely green again. Going out of town for a week imbalanced the chemicals to a large extent.
2nd water test and recommended 7/10/21 - 64oz muriatic acid, 4 lbs of stabilizer, algaecide 2 gallons, and 15lbs of pool shock over course of 4 days, the water doesn't seem to change the color at all. it feels like algae has been observing all chemicals irrespective of quantity. The near by stores are out of Liquid chlorine, and I've already spent a lot of shock (yes you can imagine 30lbs of shock). I don't mind calling pool services, if this something I can fix it by purchasing chemicals, I want to give a try. if not, I've to break the bank to get additional service. Please help me out.
