How do I get my pool clean?
It has been a week since we opened it and it is no longer that dark, nasty green. Now it is a light green, but it is still so cloudy that we can’t even see the bottom of the shallow end (only 3.5ft)! We have put all kinds of shock, algaecide, and Ph increaser in it, but all the chemicals just seem to create a layer of foam on top of the pool. We have been vacuuming, backwashing, and emptying both filters (one in the skimmer and one in near the pump, presumably to catch what is vacuumed up) regularly. Please help us!
Pools can be tricky…Other then adding Chlorine you should allways bring a water sample to your pool store when you have a problem…They will test your water and provide you with the proper chemicals based on your gallonage..Dumping stuff in without proper instruction will screw things up more…..They will tell you exactly what to put in and the proper order based on your sample. Sounds to me that it wasn’t properly winterized.
