I successfully opened my pool two years ago and after a lot of patience the pool finally, after I think a month, opened. I started early this year and unfortunately I'm having worse luck than last time. The pool isn't changing color much at all. It was dark green and now its a mix of gray, brown, and green and has been the same color for over a week with me consistently shocking it. I think I've used over 30+ bottles of bleach at this point. My CYA was zero and I read somewhere I could start shocking with it at 0 as long as I kept the FC checked and at 10.
Today I bought dichlor shock packets to bring the CYA up and put 4 packets in for my 33,000 gallon pool. Its been close to two hours since I put it in and the levels are below
Ph- 7.0
FC-13
TA-40
CH-20
CYA-<20 dot never disappeared but got a little less visible than the previous times I've checked it.
Any guidance would be much appreciated!
P.S. I also had to take off the Stem O-ring on the grid filter because it was worn away and the new one will be here tomorrow. Not sure how much that would affect the filter with filtering out the algae.
