I just bought a new house and with it my first pool. It was looking good so I obviously did nothing, prob not a good idea. It then turned to swamp water soon after. I have been to the pool store multiple times and have spent hundreds of $ to get it looking marginally better. Now it is just cloudy instead of green... Anyway after having them put the water into the machine and tell me the same thing over and over again I recognized the definition of insanity. I purchased the expensive tester kit like this site suggested and read through some pool school (but I could be missing something so feel free to point out me being an idiot). Below are my results:
Also I knew the chlorine was low so I have been pouring bags of shock (pool store suggestion) and recently 2 bottles of bleach (pool math suggestion) but have not seen a bump in my results.
Thanks in advance for the help!!!!
