Hello everyone,
Im a new pool owner. It’s a fiberglass pool 30K-35K gallons. The pool was covered when we bought the house this year in the winter. When we started the opening the pool it was pretty bad green. We shocked the pool with a lot of shock and liquid chlorine along with algaecide recommended by our local pool store when we got them a sample of the water.
Tried filtration for a few days and the cloudiness of the pool won’t go away. You couldn’t see 1” deep in the water.
We finally used floc (Now I know that this forum dislikes it heavily) but the floc worked and everything went to the bottom.
I have been vacuuming for 3 days now because I keep losing a lot of water and the suction is pretty slow.
I have attached some pictures to see what you guys think and see if there’s any advise you can give me.
Some how dark leafs made it in at some point in this pool. I’ve been taking them out when I see them. I’m thinking the homeowners didn’t close the pool for a full year before they decided to sell the house they just covered it.
I also changed my 300lbs pound sand filter with new fresh sand.
Any help would be appreciated.
