I normally just let my pool guy do his work, but recently after winter rains the water got a green tint. So upon my questioning, he added some liquid from a bottle (what I believe was some form of chlorine). After a week the water is still green... so he probably added some more (I did not witness so don't know for sure). Out of curiosity and boredom I ordered test strips and here's the result (see picture).
I'm a total noob but from what I read from the forum posts, I have high Chlorine, low CYA, very low PH and TA. I should add that I used another PH tester and it's showing 5.4 (!)
What's going on in my pool? Did my pool guy try to shock the pool? I know I should talk to him directly over this but I can't reach him now. Also should I immediately add soda to balance the PH?
