Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea I'm still green. Not as bad as the pond look, but not clear. I've re-read the pool school information again and I am following the shocking procedure very closely. In the past 6 days the lowest FC reading has been 16.5 (twice)...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea Ok a week away with the pump running. Brother added chorine once. Water is more clear than ever this year. I am going to vacuum to waste tomorrow. The green is on the bottom. My current test results are listed below. My question is...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea I have not added DE to the filter, although they sell it at the wholesale club next to liquid shock. How much DE should I add. Replaced sand filter with 300# sand two weeks ago. Water is rather expensive to do a bulk replace. I...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea I thought the calculator adjusted the amount of bleach to add based upon the CYA. The recommendation was for 25ppg, I did not see this chart. I will bump it up to 39 for the goal.

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea CYA was about 100. I have been backflushing off water and adding new every day. I will recheck the CYA tomorrow evening. FC has been above 20 for several days now. I started about a week ago and the FC would drop fairly quickly...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea I had FC this morning of 25.5. Tonight it is still good at 23. I have a picture of the pool - pea soup color, but I don't know how to attach the picture to the post. Should I be seeing some clearing? How long do I maintain FC at...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea I put a little extra bleach in tonight to make sure that the level gets up to 25. Brushed walls and bottom. Is it normal that the pool is still green? I thought it might go white cloudy then clear. Thoughts?

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea My pH is holding at 7.8. The pump is running 24/7. I let the Kreepy Krawley run for awhile and it picked up a bunch of stuff from the bottom that I can't see. Chlorine continues to drop steadily and the green is still there...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea What about cleaning. Should I try to vacuum up some of the growth or keep the water circulating while trying to kill the algae? I am brushing to keep algae from settling on the skimmers, light, etc.

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea By this evening the FC has dropped to 11 and the CC 1. Ph was holding at 7.8. I added more acid to lower Ph again and added more bleach. I drained off more water and adding fresh. Repeat this again in the morning.

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea TF-100 kit arrived and I ran all the tests. Basic test the Ph was 7.8 and the Chlorine was off the chart (expected). The other test produced a FC of 21 and a TC level of 23.5. The TA tested 210. I had trouble with the CH test...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea Muratic Acid to lower Ph? What do you use to raise Ph when needed? Also, CYA I don't need to increase mine at this time, but what product do you use to increase CYA? I also kept chlorine sticks in the skimmers. Do I continue to...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea My test kit is shipping. I took water to the pool store and here are the results. Temp - 82 FC - 0 CC - 0 pH - 8.3 TA - 166 Adj TA 136 CH - 276 CYA - 100 The pool has gone green again and is still cloudy. I'm going to the Pool...

Re: Green and Cloudy with high chlorine. Pool Stored to dea I ordered the test kit. That particular shock was 112 lbs of pre dissolve CLC. They said Calcium was at max and shock after that was a different product Smart Shock. I will get the water tested and get full results at the store...

I wish I'd found this forum a couple of months ago. I have been reading and learning and will be trying out pool clearing and maintenance procedures I have been reading about. I will order a test kit and report full test data soon. Meanwhile, I'm fighting a monster in my back yard. I have...
