I'm having trouble getting my cloudy pool to clear up.
Pool was set up last summer and ran with no problems. Drained it last fall and refilled it 2 weeks ago. Had problems with the connector between our pump and the SWG which took 3 days to straighten out. In those 3 days the pool went very green. We added some dichlor treatment we bought at the pool store (hadn't found this board yet), which took all the green away within a few hours. But the resulting water was very cloudy and nothing we've tried has made ANY improvement over the past week. CYA has been very low (less than 30), but I finally got it to 60 today.
Should I be shocking? Something else? Pump runs 24/7 and I brush/vacuum several times a day, with no change. I've tried being patient, but there has been zero improvement in the cloudiness and I'm lost on what to do next.
Today's readings:
FC - 4.0
TC - 4.0
pH - 7.3
TA - 170
CH - 220? (after 22 drops start seeing a slight purple color--no matter how many drops I add it never really turns blue)
CYA - 60
thank you in advance for any help I can get! this board and website are fantastic sources of info.!
