7,600 gal above ground pool. Recently flocced and cleared up. A few days later it was cloudy, now green and cloudy. Thought there might be metals. Pool store results show no copper. But they did show 1,052 hardness! My Taylor kit was 220. Intex pump with 50 lb sand. Taylor results in picture (left side). Water bottle pic was just my sample I took in.

I would trust your Taylor kit over the pool store. Is it the K2006c or similar?
Green + cloudy usually means algae. You'll need to follow the SLAM Process to clean it up. Do you have a source for liquid chlroine?

Looks like my last reply didn’t post. I had never needed this process in the past. I’ve had over 100 pool clients. Well I’m now 4 days into SLAM and finally seeing some progress. Water is much more of a blue and I can see the bottom ok now. Thanks for the help!I would trust your Taylor kit over the pool store. Is it the K2006c or similar?

It's not a process that's very conducive to pool professionals as it requires babysitting the pool, but it works
Took 3 or 4 days but the green went away. Flocced it to finish it off. Nice and clear again. Thanks!
