When we first moved into our house the pool store though our pool water was at least 5+ years old as it was all out of whack. At some point all of the hard water minerals won't allow the pool chemicals to work properly and you'll need exponentially more chemicals to keep it clean.
Months of 100+ temps here we come!!!!
Ground Control had some nice looking beers they plan to get in soon, on their Facebook page.

We had an issue due to our seller and a clunky timing issue. She had been transitioning to her new home upstate and appears now to have slacked off on the pool maintenance (and landscaping!). Plus we closed on 4/19 and lived in an airbnb for 10 days while having new flooring put in. So within that timeframe nothing was being done and it was starting to turn a brownish green.
Water test showed zero chlorine, haha.
I got it all balanced with the help of the pool store and watched a Youtube tutorial on the setup and heater. Through that I found a tear in the Pentair filter bag that was preventing backwash and filtration. Fixed that and now she's humming pretty good.
I'm committed to getting completely unpacked and mostly settled this weekend and I'll be ready to socialize.
