I completed the conversion from Baqua about two weeks ago and things have been going pretty well. However, for the past 2 days the water isn't the beautiful crystal clear that it has been and is noticeably a little cloudy. Current readings at 9pm are:
FC - 0 (dosed it up to 4 this morning?)
CC - 0.5
CYA - 20 (added enough to get to 30 at the end of the conversion and added enough to go from 20 to 30 again 6 days ago)
TA - 150
pH - 7.8
We've had record high temperatures for the past several days (97 today) and my pool has no shade. My question is, where should I be maintaining the CYA and FC. I started with the standard CYA=30 and FC Target=4 coming off of the conversion but have noticed the CYA/FC chart has other possibilities. If I raise the CYA level, although I seem to be having problems even getting to 30, will that help hold the FC and perhaps lower the amount of bleach I have to add daily. FC has been 0 ppm 7 out of the past 8 mornings.
Also, pump has run 24/7 since beginning the conversion so I'm not sure what might be causing the cloudiness.
Comments/Guidance appreciated.
