Hey guys, I am a 21-year-old student who just came back from college to find a green mess in my pool. My mother has tried everything the local pool industry guys said but the pool is still green and cloudy. Usually, my younger brother is assigned to do pool maintenance, but due to his laziness, I have decided to try to deal with this issue.
Here is the picture of the pool.
And pictures of tools:
Filter
Aqua Logic Automation and Chlorination machine
Lastly, the picture of the water analysis
This issue occurred last summer too and I believe the local pool industry guys are either a scam trying to drain our wallets or clueless on this issue.
From my research, here is what I think needs to be done:
1. Replace the sand filter
According to my mother, the sand filter hasn't been replaced in 10 years (which is why I think the pool is cloudy). I am planning to replace the sand filter based on this YouTube video.
2. Overload the pool with shock
I'm not too sure about this part since I'm not familiar with pool chemistry. In-Depth guidance will be really helpful.
Other than these two, I don't know what else needs to be done. Please help my pool turn crystal clear blue again.
