I bought a foreclosure that has an in ground fiberglass pools that was neglected for about 2 years. I got the pool cleaned up and the water clear. The walls were badly stained. A couple of weeks ago I bought some stain remover and it worked to remove the stains (stain free and a metal remover). The stain remover called for the chlorine to go to almost nothing which I did. It also caused the PH and total alkalinity to drop.
That was a couple of weeks ago. I've got my PH and total alk back up, but the pool continues to eat chlorine. As soon as I started working on the PH, total alk and chlorine, the pool got very cloudy. When I add granular chlorine, it just makes the water more cloudy. I've tried clarifier and it doesn't seem to help.
Help!!!
