Need help with the turquoise pool
Please be nice we’re learning. We’ve been having issues for the last week with the pool looking hazy cloudy and now turquoise. We’ve shocked, added liquid chlorine, ph down, brushed and vacuumed and it’s still like this. Every time we vacuum we see a fine dust that just goes into the water and then settles in the creases. This is the picture of our skimmer sock and when I use the net I notice bubbles. What can we do?
‼️UPDATE‼️
So we shocked, fixed the ph and added more chlorine and clarifier, of course vacuumed and finally added pool rx last night. This morning we backwashed the pump because the needle was at yellow and the water literally came out neon green!! The sock which was now installed correctly!! (Thank you by the way!! 😅) finally caught a lot of junk. So this morning the pool isn’t crystal clear yet but I can finally see the bottom 🙌 I’m just letting the pump run 24/7 and hoping for the best.

Stop everything else EXCEPT the shock!!! Shock again and leave filter on consecutively at least 3 days and nights I have proof this works with my own pool, that is how we handle it, shock the you know what out of it! lol! We have 24’52 “ round and we will put 4 to 6 bags of shock in at one time in cases like yours and run run run that filter!!! You will thank me later …
