27,000 gallon green swamp HELP

[ms dean]

The pool pump is a Dynamo the sand filter is a intex and the shock granules were called shock xtra by utekem

[PoolDoc]

Last first: "were called" -- are the granules gone, or do you still have some?

You have an Dynamo pump and an Intex sand filter on a 27,000 gallon pool? That doesn't sound right. What are the dimensions of your pool?

Have you added bleach? Do you have an OTO kit? Did the pool hold chlorine overnight?

[ms dean]

The pool is 27' round the pump is a 1-1half pump ,150lbs capacity filter system.
The pool water is still green. We have been vaccuming it out . Had a lot of leaves
On the bottom. Dont have any more chemicals . So do I add more bleach now

Ms Dean;

Proper pool management has a learning curve -- and you are currently at the steep end of that curve. We can help, but we can't change the reality. In the US pool market you have 3 choices:

1. You can be a victim of pool store tactics, as you have been in the past.
2. You can learn to manage your pool chemistry yourself -- and we can help with that, but YOU still have to learn.
3. If you are very, very lucky, you can find a really good local pool store to help you. We estimate about 2% of pool stores fall into this category.

The choice is yours. But we can only help with option 2.

However, if you select option 2, I can tell you that you are going to need to obtain an essential pool tool, that has been in short supply, as long as I've been doing the PoolForum: P.O.P.* Without it, your efforts will fail, and you will waste your time and ours.

Best wishes with your decision.

* P.O.P. = Pool Owner Patience
