After opening the pool late and dumping some shock in everyday, I found you guys. I used the pool calculator and got my pool sparkling clean. Well the past week I've been too busy to do anytyhing with the pool. I didn't clean it, I didn't run the filter, I didn't shock...nothing. Day 5 it started to get cloudy. I only have the crappy test strips (I know, I know) but it appeared that everything was relatively balanced except FC. I dumped in 6 1lb bags of 65% cal hypo at night. Tested 1 hour later, chlorine is at 0. Day 6, its even cloudier. I get my water tested at store. CYA is 45, can't remember the rest, but calcium was a little low, PH and TA a tiny bit high, FC and TC 0. The guy says to dump a little bit of shock and it should be fine. I dump another 6 1lb bags of 65% cal hypo. Test 1 hour later and its at 0%. Today is Day 7 starting to get green on top of the fact its sooo murky I can't see anything! We've been having a lot of rain. I tested the water with my strips and looks like CYA has dropped slighly below the ok range and the PH has dropped as well. I did the pool calcuator, dumped in more than it said to for shock. I dumped 6 1 lb. bags of chlorine. Tested it at 0 one hour later. I dumped in 3 more bags and 2 bottles 12% liquid shock. What in the world is going on? What am I doing wrong???? I did find a dead mouse and 4 dead frogs today, but would that screw it up so bad? I just spent almost $100 on this Crud. I hate my pool.
