pamom,
I cringe when I start these posts because it is very, very easy to think what I am going to say is rude. I do not intend it that way and I hope you will not take it that way.
It is time for you to make a decision as to who's advice to take.....this forum or the pool store. We hope you'll take the advice here because we know it to be correct. You cannot reach your goal of clear water by listening to 2 sets of conflicting instructions.
Next, trying to do what we advocate without a good test kit is very difficult.......it can be done but it is not easy and it will require you to go back to pool school and learn much, more about pool water chemistry and then learn what to do with your situation given the test results you have. I promise you, it will be far less painless with accurate, meaningful test results.
I sell one of the kits recommended here on the forum so I have an obvious agenda. I'll let others encourage or discourage you on the need to have a kit so you can post good numbers.
Keep the faith......you can get your pool crystal clear. :lol: :lol:
