Clarity
The picture on the left was taken last Tuesday 3/24 around noon. Our general manager and board president said that the chemicals in this water were tested and found to be fine.
It was said that sun tan oil was the possible reason for its cloudy-green condition. I performed a water test when I took this picture using a Taylor Kit and the readings were 0-chlorine and 7.2-PH.
The picture on the right was taken today Tuesday 3/31 around noon. This was after our general manager decided to close the pool and fix the problem. Today’s water test reading was 5-chlorine and 7.8-PH.
It should be noted that ideal readings are 3-chlorine and 7.5-PH. It should be also noted that it would take a tremendous amount of suntan oil to cause this kind of problem and would have left a considerable amount of oil residue on top of the water and all around the border tile. There was no evidence of such residue.
It was said that the indoor pool’s chlorine level was so high that management decided to shut the chlorinator off to reduce it. When they turned it back on they later realized the injectors that fed the pool its chlorine were not functioning. It would appear they solved that problem.
Thus begs the question of why owners find it continually difficult to extrapolate the truth from the answers given by the people in charge. Why can’t owners be told the straight story from the start?

I know someone who swam in the pool yesterday 3/30/2009 and his suit was ruined after his swim. I am thinking that I will call the health department and let LIV pay the consequences since they seem to think we are fine. That should solve the issue.
Tell your friend to take pictures of his/her swimsuit and write everything down. Keep track.
Wow, big difference in the clarity from the picture posted a few days ago!
We have the swimsuit.The next time the pool goes green we well call the health department.It well be back to go dark green by Sat.LD can't keep it clean for 7 days
I had been using the indoor pool up until last week. I must admit that I even used it when the water was less than sparkling. I stopped swimming last week when my doctor told me I had a urinary tract infection. Now I have never had anything like this in my life. After I read all the stories on the blog about the water, I called my doctor and asked him if that might have anything to do with the infection. He said it is most likely the cause.
Thanks so much Mr. Manager for taking such good care of us. Maybe I'll file a lawsuit too.
