Hi Guys,
Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction here.
I bought a house that has a 30,000l fibreglass pool (SWG) ans I've been pulling my hair out the past week since i got the keys trying to get it all crystal clear.
I tested everything with a clear choice labs kit and everything was quite low bar the salt which was almost 8000ppm so taking baby steps, added alkalinity increaser and CYA and I ran the salt cell every night. Everything was looking good numbers were balancing and the water was getting crystal clear.
Then i went and bought a zodiac CX20 as the bottom was getting quite dirty and it did a fantastic job but the water ended up cloudy. Could still see the bottom but it was still cloudy.
Pulled out my test kit today and these are my results (See attached image)
As you can see, i still need to bring some numbers up and my FC has gone a little high (my cc came back at 0.5ppm as well) but im still trying to figure out this Dang cloudy water. Sun has now set here so i cant get a photo of the water just yet but like I said, i can easily see the bottom of the pool, its just not crystal clear like it should.
I also understand the salt is at a ridiculous level (previous owner) however draining isn't an option as we've had an increase in bushfires in the state and strict water restrictions are currently in place. So I'm hoping i can put up with it and still get the pool swimmable.
Can anyone offer some advice. This is my first week with a pool and even though ive been crawling through these forums and articles like a bible the past 2 months, its left me kind of stumped.
TIA
