I opened my pool last Monday and after a few the water was a bit cloudy. PH was around 6.4 so last Friday I added around 176oz of soda ash diluted in water but all at once. Rookie mistake water got cloudy and PH and TA rapidly increased which Ive later managed to lower to normal levels using muriatic acid.
Current test numbers Taylor K-2005
FC: 0.0
CC: 0.0
pH 7.2 to 7.4 (somewhere in the middle)
CH: 170
TA: 120
CYA: 0
I can't see the bottom of the pool, even in shallow end. Ive read in other threats that the cloudy water should clear in a few days. Ive been brushing it regularly and pump is on 24/07. Should I add some pool floc to speed up the process or just wait? Also can i add some liquid chlorine since the water has none?
Thoughts?
