Hello,
I am newer to the pool world and feel as if I am having trouble getting my footing. I recently took over at my company as the Aquatics Director and have been hit with a lot since then. Most recently I just had to drain the pool for some repairs and have both of my filters replaced. I filled the pool back up and everything was fine for a couple of days but now I have a green pool. I’ve done a lot of research on this and found it’s most likely due to algae. Over the past couple of days I have been continuously shocking the pool. I also took a sample to my pool store and he gave me some Green to Clean to use and told me to continue to shock the pool every 12 hours for the next 36 hours. He also ensured me that I should start to notice a difference after about 24 hours. Unfortunately I’m not noticing any difference. I should mention that we do have 2 filters for the pool and one is down right now but will be fixed tomorrow but the other filter is running just fine. I do plan to backwash first thing in the morning but am very frustrated that I can’t seem to get this under control. Any suggestions?
