Hi everyone.
This is only my 2nd time opening .... and more issues than last year. First, our cover needs replacing and as a result opened to black/green water, with a layer of black stuff covering the entire bottom. The pool guys opened using liquid chlorine .... but after they left we noticed the filter was leaking .... so couldn't leave it running for long periods. In the meantime, over 3 days I had to scrub the bottom of the pool and send through waste, and now the pool is a cloudy blue .... a only a few hard to scrub patches on the bottom.
Pool guys said (on the phone) that its probably the o-ring and they needed to order. Got fed up waiting today, so I took the filter apart (thanks youtube), washed down the filters and put it back together .... it doesn't seem to be leaking from the filter now .... but, the valve and area around the valve is leaking badly. I'm taking a break from all this at the moment, while I write this thread!
I did a pool chemistry test: Ch 0, CC .5, Cal 75, pH over 8.2 (purple!), CYA 0 (clear all the way), TA 100.
Next steps (in order) please? Very much appreciated.
