OMG 3 weeks and I my pool still milky green!!!
Pool was beyond swamp, cover fell in tons of leaves, frogs and other wildlife, raked, vacuumed, raked vacuumed...you should see my pool guns now.....look out Schwarzenegger
! Until My vacuum came up clean, still vacuuming everyday with very little debris.Brushing pool 1 or 2 times a day.
I have done everything , and am on my 3rd week of shock level for mustard algae.
Changed out pump and filter 10 days ago from intex cart to sand. Pressure guage is still in the green ...started at 1/2 and is now 3/4....numbers too tiny for me to read....argh even with my new specs! Left The filter off for 8 hours just too see wth is going on, huge amount of brown gunk that does not vacuum up with my pool blaster max with filter sock. But water was clear and either my liner bleached or there was a slight tinge of green . Ordered aqua critter, should be here shortly. Very little debris coming up with the vacuum but it mixes the fine particles into the water nicely...the 2nd positive part of this experience....LOL
Chemistry is holding stable and I have checked for metal. None zero zip! FC is dropping by 2 during the cloudy days and 3 during sunny days, cc is holding steady at .5. FC holding at hour interval, and dropping by 1 overnight. How much longer??? I want that clear water fairy at my house pronto! WHat next???
