The
most common error besides not having salt in the pool is not having the right amount stabilizer in it. This is a chemical that has an affinity for chlorine
ions and if it is not there the chlorine can be disipated in a few hours
when the sun hits it. Another name for it is Cyanuric Acid. It can be
purchased in granular form at many pool supply stores or in a liquid
form at Leslies. In order to get your pool blue you need
to have the chemistry checked at a pool store or with a test kit
(either liquid or strips). Don't buy everything a pool supply tells you
to buy but start out with vinyl
safe shock, stabilizer and salt. The pool store should be able to help
you determine the dose. The following is what I would do:
1. Make sure salt is at the recommended concentration.
2. Shock the pool to recommended dose to start killing the algae.
3. Place the recomended dose of stabilizer in the pool.
4. Make sure pump and filter are working properly.
5. Check the pool chemistry on a daily basis until it is ready for swimming.
6. Check the chemistry on a weekly basis and clean the pool and equipment according to the pool instructions.
