Hi .. similar scenario for me.
Set up a bestway 16x10x42 (approx 3000 gallons) and upon fill up water is tinted green, but clear. I added shock and a 3" chlorine tab floater after filling and have had the filter running. I had water analyzed the following morning and here are the results:
Free Chlorine: 4.03 ppm
Total Chlorine: 5.45
pH: 7.9
Total Alk: 43 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 62 ppm
CYA: 5 ppm
Iron: 0.2 ppm
Copper: 0.1 ppm
Phosphates: 603 ppb
TDS: 300 ppm
I was told to add and completed the following today but water still looks green:
2lbs 6oz of Alkalinity Up
41 fl Oz of Instant Pool Water Conditioner
My Phosphate level is very high so thinking of adding Phosphate Remover ... any other suggestions to turn this water crystal blue? Thanks!
