Ok...We have a 13.6k gallon above ground pool..Last year we put the chemicals in it that the pool place said we needed, it cleared up, and we didn't have any problems..
This summer our pump broke after we took the cover off...We didn't get another pump until a few weeks later, and we waited to install it till I moved back from my home to my college house.. In that time the pool of course turned bad green w/ algae and all that.. My dad got it cleaned up, and then noone was down here for 6 days and we left the pump off..Pool gets green again..

So i take a water sample to the pool place and put what they tell me to put in it..Pool starts clearing up but still remains a shade of green...Algae comes back and some crap.. Take another sample and do what they say..

It has been 2 weeks and all the algae is gone, and the water test strips I have read right.. But the pool is still bad cloudy and a light shade of green..ANd I am tired of spending money on chemicals...

Any ideas?

Needs more chlorine, also sounds like your stabilizer level is too high for the chlorine to hold and work correctly. Also make sure your PH is in the 7.2 - 7.6 range for chlorine to be used properly.

Drain some water off to lower the stabilizer level, and back off the tablets a little. Then shock the shit out of it with liquid chlorine, 2 - 3 times as much as you normally would.

If your pool store mentions anything about phosphates, walkk out of that store and goto another. Because if you can keep the chlorine level high enough, phosphates & algae will neve be a problem.

If i ever go with a pool i'm going SALT water all the way.

It's still chlorine. lol

I'll give you a hint, a salt water cell converts salt to chlorine by releasing chlorine gas back into the water. It's the very same process on how liquid chlorine is made.

What is salt? Sodium Chloride.

What is chlorine? Sodium Hypo Chloride.

Did you know you can add liquid chlorine to a salt pool to shock it?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Did you know that salt water cells use upto 1.45lbs of salt per day?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Did you know that by adding every 2.5gal of liquid chlorine, you add exactly 1.45lbs of salt to your pool? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif

Walmart, chlorine = bleach. Buy the cheapest, unscented bleach possible. look @ the strengths, ours is 10.5%, most stores is 5.25%, just buy a bunch of that and use it as your shock instead of the granular stuff. Add a little bit every few days, but remeber to keep the pool running when you add it for at least 8hrs.

Pool industry = quietest multi billion dollar industry out there.

Some colleges offer a class called "How to make a Million Dollars Servicing Pools" - GREAT CLASS!!!

Even if you just sevice pools for the summer on your own, you can average $13K - 25K !

That's not bad cash at all...

I don't think he gets it...

Yeah, you gotta test your PH & Alkalinity before you add chlorine.
