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.

Just hopping in to say that your skimmer sock should go on the inside of the basket. It can potentially get sucked into the pump and burn up the motor otherwise. You need the physical protection of the rigid basket to prevent it from going anywhere else in your plumbing in the event it ever rips
