I was out of town and had someone periodically looking over the pool, however when I returned last Friday, there was no FC and the pool had a fair amount of Alge on the bottom. I have scrubbed, shocked, vac'd and added Soda Ash to raise the PH level. The crud at the bottom is gone and the water is blue (no longer green) however the water is still cloudy. So much so that it is nearly impossible to see the bottom of the pool.
Since I don't have the TF-100 test kit yet (ordering now) I am posting the results from a 5 way test kit and will go out tonight and buy the 6 way kit at Walmart.
Here are the results of the 5 Way:
FC=2
pH=7.2
TA=80
According to pool school and calc, I plan to add 8.5 oz of the Soda Ash (since I still have it) and 18 oz of Baking Soda.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on what is causing the cloudiness and if the Soda Ash and Baking Soda will help??
Anything else that I may have missed posting, let me know.
Thanks in advance!
