Hello, I recently purchased a home with a inground salt water pool vinyl liner. The previous owners had a pool company treat the pool weekly but I thought I could do it myself and save some money. The pool water was crystal clear when I took over and I started doing weekly tests at the local pool store. For the past 3 week the pool store said I had extremely high phosphates (over 5000 PPM). I have been doing what the pool store recommended and now my pool is extremely cloudy (I have cleaned the filters 3 times and now just ordered new cartridge filters based on the recommendation of the pool store). After finding trouble free pools I have been researching a lot and feel that I have been "pool stored" and buying useless chemicals that are not truly helping. I am all in on TFP and purchased the Taylor K-2006 test kit and I am using the pool math app to take control of the pool myself. Looking for your suggestions below to help with the cloudiness of my pool after my first test results myself.
The pool is a 30,800 gallon salt water rectangle pool.
SWG is set at 40%
Return jets are pointed up for small ripples which I see may cause high PH? The 2 skimmers are on opposite side of the rectangle pools return jets so return jets should push debris to the skimmers?
Recent test results from Taylor kit:
FC - 8.0
PH - 8.0
TA - 80
CH - 450
CYA - 10 (I filled the water all the way to the top and can still see the black dot)
SALT - 3600 (SWG is set at 40%)
Any help / suggestions you can provide would be appreciated.
Thank you!
