Pool company opened our pool on May 19, 2020. It was green - not unusual. Lots of algae. They added 20 L of 12% liquid chlorine. After 2 days, not much change. I tested the water on May 21 using Taylor K2006. Results were:
FC 4 ppm CC 0.5 pH 8 TA 50 CH 40 CYA 60 On May 22 I added 900 ml of muriatic acid (acid demand 4 drops ) to lower the pH. Then another 17 L of liquid chlorine.
Saturday's TABEX test from the pool company showed FC 0.67 CC 0.39 pH 6.3 TA 37 CH 75 CYA 53 TDS? 500 I added all told another 20+L Pool is no longer green, but it is very cloudy/milky. Can't see the bottom on the shallow end.
At 6PM this evening - May 24 FC was 20 so I just added another 4 L to bring SLAM up to 24 ppm.
We had a cloudy pool problem last year but the CYA was up to 100 . It finally cleared, but not until August. I hope we don't have to wait that long this year. We also had copper staining in 2017 and 2018 Last year we didn't use our older heater and had no copper. So I found the source of that issue!
Might someone help me to know what causes the cloudy water? It seems strange that the water doesn't look cloudy when I dip it out in a clear plastic container.
Thanks,.
