Good evening guys, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to the pool world. 4th year with an 15' Intex above ground pool. Up until this year I've had zero problems with my pool. Upon uncovering pool water was green unlike previous years. I have been trying for a little over a week in getting the water clear but haven't had any luck. I have managed to get the water to a light blue ocean colored type water but it is very cloudy and can not see the bottom. I have shocked it twice now and still not clear and a little lost on what to do now. So here is my test results from a Taylor k-2005 salt test kit:
FC: 1-2ppm
TC: 3-6ppm
CC: 1-2ppm
pH: 7.8
TA: 120ppm
CH: 110ppm
CA: 100ppm
SALT: 3200ppm
BR: 2-4ppm
My pool holds 4440 gallons of water. I run an Intex Sand filter system 1600gph along with an Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater generator (not turned on at the moment). The pool also has the Intex skimmer and a sprayer fountain. I've had some people tell me I needed to raise my chlorine levels up higher to really shock pool until it clears up. So that's why I'm here. Can someone please help me with what I need to do? Thanks guys
