Hi All,
My pool just turned cloudy today, we had a large rain storm 4 days before, and I noticed I needed to backwash. I am new to SWG but my SWG is not new. Have been using liquid chlorine for 5 years. I installed it late last year and opened the pool 5 weeks ago. Its been cool, opened at 61 degrees, now its 71. I have been running 6 hours a day at 60% right before it turns on my chlorine level is around 2.0 I ran the SWG all day for 10 hours at 100%, and turned on super chlorinate after 10 hours (why is a long story). SWG in my sig, but its a Hayward for 40,000 gallon pool and this pool is 21,600 gallons

- Chlorine levels at 7 hours were 1.5ppm combined chlorine unknown, at 8 hours they were 2ppm and 0 combined chlorine, at 10 hours it was 3.5ppm I assume CC is still 0
- Chlorine = 3.5
- CC = 0
- CH = 350
- TA =110-120
- PH = 7.7
- CYA = 55-60
- Water Temp 71 degrees
- Salt level per the machine is 2900ppm
- Does it take a while to ramp up? I assume when I started it was at 0 and took 7 hours to get to 1.5?
- What is the best way to get it clear now
- What should I do different after it clears?
- Is any of this an indication of a bad cell?
