To start there a few things I should mention. This is my second season with the pool, and the first "issue" I have had. In the past we have always had a solar cover on when the pool was not in use, but for the last month we have been going without as it looks nicer, and my wife and son can use the pool without having to deal with it. Since going without the cover evaporation, and chlorine loss have increased as it should.
I noticed this morning my water has gotten a little cloudy. It appears clear in the shallow end, but the deep end it is a little more noticeable.
Current Levels:
FC 8.5
CC 0
PH 7.4
TA 80
CYA 80
water temp 84
I have noticed over the last week that my SWG is not producing enough CL as it should. My salt is low and I just have not had time this week to get to pool store and get more. Heading up there later today. I have been supplementing with bleach to keep FC between 6 and 7. This morning when I ran my test, my FC was only at 2.5. I have since added bleach. It was at 6.5 yesterday afternoon before I left to go out for the day. My wife and son used the pool for 4 hours my wife told me. She also said she put some sunless tanner on her legs. Could the tanner be what is causing the pool to be cloudy, or is this the start of a algae outbreak?
