Hello,
First wanted to say thanks for this tremendous resource. I've been lurking (not registered) for a while in anticipation of closing on my home and have read quite a bit of information - still trying to digest it all! Now that my wife and I are finally into the house we were hoping to get some of the expert advice from you folks here on the TFP forum.
We opened the pool last weekend (late in the season because it was part of the deal with closing on the house) to the usual green, swamp-looking water. Pool company shocked the pool and off they went. Water turned to the current state and we've been trying to maintain since and adjust since. We have run the filter 24/7 for about 5 days now with shocking daily but have to admit that we are a bit lost - the water remains murky and has not cleared up one bit. I have been researching the TFP/BBB method on here and would like to subscribe to that but was hoping for some guidance. I am posting today's pool testing results from Namco as well as a couple of pictures of the pool. We did additionally buy a testing kit above/beyond the pH paper and are hoping this will be enough to get us through the season. I did see that there are preferred/recommended kits on here - will ours be enough to get us through til' the end of the season (see below picture)?
Last item to mention is the robot the pool owner left (Aquabot Turbo T) isn't working and is in the shop for repair.
As always, very appreciative of any help/guidance.
Thanks,
Maritime
