Gday All
I had an issue a few weeks back, it was prior to Christmas. We had a storm and we had around 150 mm of rain in a couple of hours. The next day the pool started to turn a little green.
I ended up doing a shock, and after some effort and advice from the local shop was able to get the water back clear. The issue I am having at the moment it is now looking cloudy. The pool shop as indicated that it is just getting dirty from the roadworks nearby. And to drop 200ml of clarifier in every month.
I put the clarifier in last week and it did get clearer, the filter cartridge was pretty dirty after this and the water did look clearer, but a week later and it is starting to cloud up again. I am currently cleaning the filter cartridge every couple of days, it always looks pretty dirty. I think it still has a slight green appearance when cleaning the cartridge.
I am not sure on the clarifier advice, and thought I would post here for further advice.
Some details on the pool:
Location Hunter Valley, NSW Australia
Current Temperature Forecast 32 - 35C
60,000 Litre (I think 15850 Gallon, but not sure? Sorry am an Aussie )
In Ground Fibreglass
Zodiac TRi Chlorinator
Davey SLL200-0 pump
EcoPure 150sqft Cartridge Filter (Model Q2204MN)
Test from today:
TC 4
FC 4
PH 7.7
TA 140
CYA 80
This was done from test strips, the test kits recommended on this site are near impossible to get in Australia.
Any advice is appreciated, not sure I have got the best advice with the clarifier solution from the local shop.
Please let me know if I have missed any info, still new to pool life, only my second season.
