Hi I’m a new pool owner to a house my family just purchased. I have never taken care of a pool so in need of a lot of advice. I keep taking my water to be tested and adding the chemicals the store recommends, but my pool is still cloudy and green. So looking for any advice. I just ordered my own testing kit and waiting for delivery

Also, purchase a recommended test kit - hopefully this is one of the kits you have on order.
Test Kits Compared

One of the cornerstone foundations of pool ownership is to test your own pool water and understand the basic chemistry of maintaining a sanitized and clear pool.
