After a 10 day vacation, I came home to a green mess. Apparently, it was over 100 degrees most days I was gone and I came home to a green pool - big time green. I shocked it, which killed the algae, and after a couple of days of filtering, gave in a flocked it. Which cleared it beautifully, however it was messy and used a lot of water vacuuming to waste. Anyway, after several rounds of vac and wait, I ended up with water that was just slightly cloudy. So I filtered and balanced and waited. A week later, I still have cloudy water - greyish. My PH is super low, and my TA is perfect. I'm running the waterfall nonstop trying to aerate - considering adding borax (should I do that or wait for aeration to move PH). Calcium hardness is really high - around 500, but I can't replace water until fall. We are in a drought with water restrictions, so I'm stuck with the water I have. I'm not sure what else I should do get my water back to pretty and would appreciate any insight...
