Hello all, I bought a house this past winter that came with a 24' above ground pool! Opening the pool for the season has been an incredibly frustrating process so far. I found that parts of the pump system were broken and needed to be replaced, and in doing so the pool had to sit, unfiltered, for weeks! We vaccumed and scrubbed the pool, and tried shocking multiple times now, but it just will not clear up. This last time (2 days ago) I put three gallons of liquid shock in just before dark at once, and it seems slightly better, but definitely still very green so far. Perhaps it will get continue getting better, but I found a thread on this site and decided to join, because the pool stores do not seem to be giving the best advice. According to the post linked below, I am going to look into getting the TF100 or Taylor KF2006C. I cannot seem to find the TF100 on amazon though, so probably the Taylor. In the mean time, if anyone else has any other advice besides getting a test kit, please let me know!
