I have been a TFP'er for 3 years, and have been able to solve most issues regarding my own pool just fine. My brother lives in Dallas, and just got an above ground vinyl pool. It is 5700 gallons, with a 2500gph pump. He has a Taylor K-2006, and has been testing. His water was perfect until a few days ago, and is now looking very green. When he brushes, he is definitely disturbing some type of residue on the bottom, and it looks green, not brown or yellow. I had him raise FC to to 15, then do an OCLT, and he is not losing any FC.
He is using 70% Cal-Hypo. His numbers now are FC 15, TA 160, pH 7.5, CYA 40.
At the pool store, they told him to put something called Green to Clean in, followed by some shock for 2 days, which he did, and the water cleared up significantly, but given what he was experiencing before, does anyone have any thoughts?
