Keep doing what your doing..........
1) chlorine at shock level
2)keep filter running
3) keep brushing and vacuuming

Its not going to clear up overnight, practice some patience and the 3 steps above......you'll walk out one morning staring a a crystal clear pool.........I promise!

Before it snows in Fl? LOL. Thanks for the help.

Another lesson learned. I do not think all chlorine is the same. LOL. AND 3 qts do not equal a gallon. Oh me. Needless to say I still have a green pool. Brushed several times today. Vacuumed once. Just put more clorox in. UGH UGH UGH

Again test and keep your chlorine level high. There are SO MANY threads where I have seen people get frustrated - but it always has worked out as soon as they have the correct amount of chlorine and it is kept at the right level consistantly ..... then poof blue cloudy pool ....and then a clear blue pool.

[raptureready1953]

I think my problem must be consistancy. My five way tester only goes to 5. BUT it now is way over that, almost a dark brown. The other test strips are way over 10. That is what it has been over the last three days. I am hoping for some change soon. Thanks.

You can go to a pool store and pick up a Taylor FAS-DPD chlorine test kit - it will test up to 50ppm I believe

OR

You can purchase DISTILLED water and put like 4 parts distilled water to one part pool water and then multipy your results by 5 - but not as accurate as a good test kit.

[raptureready1953]

Oh ok, thanks. Dont have the money for any more test kits. Wish I did. I would buy one on this site. Will try the distilled water asap. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I am not sure what color the pool water is . To me its more a light green gray...nothing like the green of yesterday. ???

[raptureready1953]

I think I have cloudy blue today. I went out to test and I could actually see about 1/4 in into the pool . I actually saw some of the liner. LOL. My ph was super high, so added some reducer. Another gal. and half of clorox. Told dh to pick up some more clorox today, almost out.

Hope this turns clear soon. Thanks yall (probably does not help that we have humid rainy afternoons for the rest of the month. yuck)
