Pool information please!!?

Question

I have an above ground pool, the water turned green and we put pool shock in it, it took out the green but now its all cloudy. Can anyone tell me some pool care?

Answer 1

take a water sample to the pool supply and have them test it

Answer 2

you would need to use some clarifier when it gets "milky cloudy" that means you have killed all the algae and you need to start adding the clarifier and in a day or so should be cleared. then add some of your algaecide in the water as a preventative maintenance and weekly thereafter. :)

Answer 3

Howdy.  There are many internet resources to help you with your problem.  Also check your local pool supply store....though some of those folks are not particularly well trained.  My personal advice:  Always follow the instructions on any pool product you are using exactly!  If you've shocked your pool as per the instructions, then you still need to allow time for your pool filter to take out any remaining organic matter.  You also need to make sure the pH and Chlorine levels are within normal ranges.
