This pool is really starting to piss me off. When my parents left, it was crystal clear and ready for babes in bikinis. The only problem was that the weather wasn't accommodating... and I'd also need to know babes in bikinis.
Well the babes in bikinis part has been taken care of, but this damn pool is still green.
I've backwashed and super-chlorinated (shocked) the shit out of it on 3 occasions and no success. It was so shocked the German's could have used my pool rather than burning the bodies of the Jews. The chlorine would have eaten right through them.
Two weeks in, the only thing I have to show for my efforts are a perfectly clean TOP of the pool and perfect Chlorine and PH levels. I had to put the auto-vac in it cuz it's so green I can't see the bottom to clean the damn thing.
The only thing left is to get me a few huge jugs of algaecide and pray that does the trick.
I blame the shitty ass acid rain that we have now cuz it went green right after it rained.
addendum
The pool is ALMOST ready for babes in bikinis. The last bit left is to shut the pump off to let all the 'pool dust' in the water settle to the bottom then put the fucker on drain and vacuum that crap right out to bypass any filtration.
Once that's done, it's open for service. Hell, even if nobody visits, it's been an excellent distraction and a good reason to spend time outside with my dog.
