I just bought a home with a 18X33 above grond pool. Problem is it has not been opened in 4 years.
I will tell you what I have done.
I have put in 3 gallons of shock every day for the last week and a half.
Everyday I skim off any floaters on top and I also have been vacuuming out the pool. But I do not run it through the pump I just pump it out into the sewer in the yard.
I vaccuum until it is not coming out cloudy or with any debris.
But still I cannot see the bottom and the pool is still a cloudy green.
The PH is right on the money as is the clorine. I have a dispenser that I keep filled all the time.
Also I have a DE filter. I also clean that everyday.
I cannot afford to drain and start over.
Please help (my kids are bugging me soooo bad

Thank you
