OK. So we were gone for a week and I figured no problem with the cover and SWG. However, when we got back, I see that my SWG was not producing (different story). When I opened the pool, the water was grey, so I put whatever liquid chlorine (roughly 3 gallons of 12.5%) I had in and got the SWG running full out until I could get some more LC. I got 10 more gallons and tested my FC to see where I was at and it was 0. I added roughly 2.5 gallons, waited 30 minutes and tested again, and again 0. This lead me to think it was ammonia? So I checked my CYA, it was 0 as well (previously 50). So i keep adding chlorine and had the SWG running until my FC held at 5ppm, which was about 10 gallons 12.5% LC. During that time, every LC addition resulted in white clouds as well as white clouds coming out of the returns with the SWG running as well as lots of foam on the surface. Sometime during all this, by PH dropped to 6.8 as well. So that is where I am at now and I was wondering what I should do next. My test results are below. Thanks for any help.
