Algae Prob - New Pool Owners
Help! We just bought a house with an inground 17,500 gal pool. We have never owned a pool before so we have been using a pool place here with no luck. Our water is a cloudy green that will not go away no matter what we do. We have shocked it about 5 times in past week and half, used 2 bottles of algaecide, muriatic acid, everything the pool place said to use. We just got the vacuum working last night and added floc, will vacuum again tonight. Have read other posts and would like to know what you mean when you say to add bleach. Are we talking clorox or a special pool bleach? Any help with this would be appreciated, I need to get this cleared up in a hurry or hubby will fill with dirt!

Ok, filter a lot!
At least for 24 hours after doing your shock & algacide.
Then vacuum AND BACKWASH FILTER for 2 to 3 minutes.
Then do a filter to waste for 10 seconds.
Repeat next day if needed.
Most important run filter 8-10 hours each day and add cholrine every night.
