I just got an above ground pool. I filled it on Saturday and we put chemicals in it on Sunday. We forgot to run the pump on Sunday night and when i went out yesterday after work the water was a light green color. I added more chemicals and shocked it and turned the pump on and now it is a brown/green color and you can not see the bottom of the pool. Any suggestions other than draining the pool and starting over again???

Did you use well water? Also can you please post the full panel test results & your filter type, size, pump size & chlorine active ingredients.
