Welcome to our forum.
It sounds and looks like you have minerals in the water. The shock oxidizes the minerals out of solution and that is how you get the green color. I have seen this cleared up with a water clarifier. You put the clarifier in, turn on all the pumps, and wait for the bubbles to foam up. Then take a scooper of some sort and remove the bubbles. You may even see what looks like dirt on top of the bubbles. Doing that for 10-20 minutes should clear things up.
I'm curious if a Metal Gone product on initial fill up have helped at all?
Maybe try putting some pH increaser in there and see what happens.Terminator
Yesterday evening I tried my first chlorine shock.I used 3,5 tbs dichlor. The water looked fine yesterday, but I thought it was time anyway to do it since we've been in every night for almost a week. I thought I did it by the book - but see what happened! What could this be, and how do I fix it? My theory right now is that I've had iron in the water that's been oxidized by the shock, so that's rust making the water discolored. I've added some No Scale just in case. I guess that would have showed earlier this week if that was the case, but I can't think of anything else.The alkalinity is slightly low- appx 80, pH is 7.2 and chlorine level this morning was 5 ppm. This was read off a test stick. Any ideas?
