Cloudy Water

G'day everyone.

Was hoping for some follow-up advice.

After weeks of crystal clear water, I noticed today my water didn't have the usual sparkle I have started to get used to seeing.

We had some storm activity this week and quite a bit of junk and leaves had been blown into the pool. I cleaned it out with the vacuum, however the water still looks a little dull. Could it be a case of just needing to run the filter longer to clean any remaining dirt?

My test results this afternoon from the clear choice labs kit:

Free Chlorine: 5.5
Combined Chlorine: 0.0
pH: 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 100
Calcium Hardness: 175
CYA: 60

Once again I really appreciate any assistance.
 
Good morning YB
I'd just keep the filter going 24/7 and up the FC to 10 for the next few days and it should clear out. As long as the FC is below slam your ok and safe. You can always do a OCLT in a day or two if you want to make sure things aren't getting away.
