Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. First off, Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there! Okay, so I'm done with draining. I've got my CYA down to 60. That's good enough for me. Here are my updated numbers CYA - 60 FC - 19.5 CC - 0.5 TC - 20.0 TA - 120 CH -...

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. Thanks for the tip linen! I'll give them a call Monday and see what they say.

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. Okay, I've got the CYA down to 80. I think the level was a little higher than I thought it was originally. One more partial drain and refill should do it. I'm dreading the water bill for next month. :|

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. Thanks for the reply, but I was asking basically after I refill with water and start recirculating, how long do I need to recirculate before I take another cya reading.

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. I just thought about something else. I've got my water level just below the skimmers. To get a correct reading on CYA, I'm going to need to turn the sump off, refill to skimmer level, and start my pool pump to let it recirculate for a...

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. Thanks! Yes, I've got my pump off. That sounds like it would work really well with the plastic. I just don't have any plastic to use and I'm too lazy right now to go and get any. :)

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. Thanks. I ended up getting a 1/6 hp utilitech pump at Lowes. I paid $82 for it. It pumps about 1500 gallons per minute. I've got the pump in the shallow end pumping water out of the pool while simultaneously refilling with fresh water...

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. Nevermind, I just goggled it. Looks like submersible pumps are around 50 or 60 dollars at walmart. That's not too bad.

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. About how much money would I be looking at spending for a submersible pump? Any recommendations on where to buy one from?

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. Well, I just did the half tap water half pool water version of the CYA test and my CYA showed more like 160. So I have a long day of drain and refill ahead of me tomorrow.

Re: Water Cloudy - Was getting clear - Chlorine got too low. My pH is about 7.5. The way I came up with 130 is by visually seeing where the level on the CYA test was below 100 on the cylinder. I'm gonna try the half tap water, half pool water CYA test tomorrow, though. My pool doesn't have a...

Hi everyone. My name is Kerry and I live in Athens, Georgia. I've been lurking around this forum for awhile. Excellent info here! Well, this is my second year with the pool. Last year, I had the water crystal clear and sparkling. This year, I haven't got it to that point yet. I was using...
