NYMickey's Pool

[nymickey]

I have a fiberglass pool that lists 19k gallons but when you subtract the steps and ledges, 15k gallons is more accurate.
Per Leslie's my numbers are as follows:

FAC = 1
TAC = 1
Salt = 2800
CH = 275
CYA = 60
TA = 120
pH = 7.7
Pho = 0

My water is CLOUDY and has brownish algae on the sides !!!

I put in 6oz. of Leslie's Ultra Bright Water Clarifier and NOTHING !!!
Now they want me to put in 8oz. of Perfect Weekly.

My question is ... I have Pool Perfect by Natural Chemistry.

Is that the same as Perfect Weekly?

Also, I am open to other ideas/suggestions to get the water clean.

Assuming for a moment the numbers from Leslies are correct (and they usually aren't), your chlorine is way too low for the amount of CYA in your water. No expensive pool potion on the planet is going to keep your water clear, clean, and safe to swim in other than keeping enough chlorine in it, and with 60 CYA, that's maintaining FC at 7-9ppm, NEVER allowing it to drop below 5ppm. You can see the levels you need to maintain here: Pool School - Chlorine / CYA Chart

Stop buying expensive potions that don't work. Stop listening to the pool store (you've been here four years but are still going to Leslies and wasting money). You need to get a set of refill reagents for the test kit you said you purchased in 2015 and go back to pool school. Get the XL option because you'll need to SLAM your pool ( Pool School - SLAM - Shock Level And Maintain )

SLAM is your short answer as triptyx already said.

Didn't you ask this same question a couple weeks ago?

Ah, my mistake. You were being told to add Pool Perfect then and were wondering if it's the same as Phosfree. I see they convinced you to buy the Pool Perfect. Yet your pool isn't perfect. I consider that false advertising, maybe we can get a class action suit going

Anyway, no, it's not the same. And this is what we refer to as "Being Pool Stored", being sold product after product to hopefully fix your pool. It's a great racket for pool stores. Not so great for someone who wants clear water and also a few dollars left in their wallet.
