Pool is 18 ft x 36 ft. On the shallow end, it is about 4 ft. On the deep end, it is about 8 ft. Our terrain is hilly so lengthwise, half is above ground and the other half is below ground. There is a concrete floor and wooden sides, supported by steel supports. There is a vinyl cover with a large rip in one corner and lots of wrinkles on the floor. The previous owner used to fill the pool with the well water. We have an extremely large oak tree and lots of other trees so leaves are constantly falling in. There is a chlorinator and I've been leaving the pump on 24 x 7, but the chlorine isn't staying. The pool turned green overnight two days ago when I turned the filter off because of torrential rain and my inability to clean the leaves. If I don't clean the leaves, the skimmer basket overflows and floats away. I was afraid that means the leaves would get into the filter system and clog it.
Hi. I tried making a signature, but it didn't work. I hope this information is everything. I will try to post my chemical readings tomorrow. I had the water tested from the pool store. The nitrates were very high that they said I'd need to empty the pool 83% to bring the level down and because of the high nitrates the chlorine isn't staying.
Thank you.
