We take ownership in a couple of weeks! Woohoo! I've just started following advice from this thread, and have begun dumping half a bottle of bleach daily (starter Wednesday).
The water is clear - I can see the bottom without difficulty. The problem is that an algae outbreak has taken hold on the surfaces of the pool and hot tub (maybe 25-30% of the surfaces). I can't get it to scrub off completely - I think the surfaces are now stained. I scrub with the pool brush and I just can't get it off.
(I haven't purchased a test kit yet as we've been waiting on the closing.)
Also, I pulled the cartridge filter for inspection. I bet it's three years old! It's disgusting. I'll be replacing it in short order.
Any thoughts?
