Yes, before the pool opened it was drained and acid washed they did power wash it after it was done nor did they did not spray the pool white(Plaster) they just let it dry and refiled it up the water was green. I had to drain it again to fix the lights it was very clear then and it seemed like it was going to be all right I was gone about 20 days and when I returned it came back looking terrible I canot see the drains at all and when I try to backwash water fliys up from the skimmers can you please help me with some suggestions?

Sorry, but suggestions for what?
You have posted this under criminal law, which makes things even more confusing..

You need to have the right chemicals in a pool. Chlorine, and something to achieve the right PH. Consult with a pool company.

And no, you will not got to jail for this. :)

You say "acid wash" that if done improperly can etch though the protective coating of the concrete ( assuming this is the type of pool) what type of acid was used and what was the strengh. After this was done, was there any new sealer put on the concrete.

I can "acid wash" and I do, my drive way, with light percentage and rinse it very quickly.
Or I can use heavy acid and etch away a layer into the concrete.

A pressure washer done right and not too high a pressure will clean and wash, at too high a pressure with the wrong nozzle can even cut lines into the concrete.

So tell us if that is the type of issue, or what the exact problem was /
