This is my first attempt to post. I know this is a no no already but I only have a water test from Leslie's. I am going to order a test kit and start getting myself educated on some of the articles about my equipment and water and chemicals.
3rd summer in Arizona with an inground pool. All good until this summer. Starting getting a stain in the pool and it has grown throughout the whole pool. Scrubbed and scrubbed and nothing going anywhere. My husband had been in charge of keeping the pool maintained but after seeing the results from the water test and how my pool has deteriorated lately, I am going to take over that job. I'm not blaming him but I guess I thought he knew what he was doing. We've had above ground pools for about 10 years and never had issues. This is a whole new game with the Arizona water and the sun and having this inground pool. I am embarrassed to share my water results but I need some opinions and advice. I will be ordering the recommended water test kit later tonight.

Welcome to the forum!
While you are waiting on your test kit, add 5 ppm FC worth of liquid chlorine / plain bleach to your pool each evening with the pump running. This will replenish the FC lost each day to the sun and also inhibit any algae in the water from growing further.
I suggest you read through Pool Care Basics - Trouble Free Pool and even look at a few of our videos TFP-TV - Trouble Free Pool
