Wow, just got back from pool store. And they didnt try to sell me every chemical they had. Their numbers read all good. TA of 109 I had 110 Ph 7.8, I had 7.4. Before all the CL I put in. CL was off their chart i have it as 24 ppm CYA 35 I had 35. She said this number was low. She just sold me...

Based on all my readings the only thing off is CH. It is low around 40. But other than that. I am not losing CL and ph and total alkalinity are staying in range. I can fix and clear 4 other pools on my block but mine is the the one that wont clear up. Frustrating for sure.

I think I am giving up and going to get numbers read at the pool store tomorrow. I just cant seem to break this haze. Thank for all the feedback. It is greatly appreciated

Can too low of a Calcium Hardness Level effect clarity. That's the only level I really am not sure on since I have a vinyl pool. Pool is not crystal clear yet. It is really the most annoying pool opening in 20 years. The bottom is spotless but the water is just hazy.

No but I think I may try that. Once I turn the pool on I usually dont shut the pump off. But its with a try. Thank you.

I get 35 because it is right between the 30 and the 40, in the test vial Either way I am keeping it above shock level for 40 which is 16ppm. I bring it up to 20ppm at night and it loses 0 cl overnight. I lose 2-3 ppm per day in the sun with no cover on it. Maybe I will add more to get to 25...

Ok I know I have been doing this method for 7 years and should just be patient. But it's been 2 weeks since opening the pool. And it is still not crystal clear. It has been improving but kinda stalled out. Numbers are all good. CL has been above 16 since last week. I increase to 20ppm when...

Sun was out yesterday and I added DE to the filter to pick up the smaller particles. Had to backwash twice. All chemical readings are still good. Keeping FC above 16ppm. Thanks for all the help

Changed sand yesterday. Kept FC around 20ppm No loss during OCLT. Will keep Slam levels until clear. Bottom of the pool is clean, no algae, been brushing 2 ties a day doesn't seem to increase cloudiness. Adding DE today, have to get some. Just wondering if the antifreeze and lack of sun (no...

Got it. Thanks for all your suggestions. Will raise CL level and hold until clear. Maybe the sun will come out one day and we could actually use the pool! Haha

I had it up at 20 PM for 3 days with no CC and passed OCLT. So I figured it was a filtering issue

It has been cloudy and has rained almost everyday since I opened the pool.

FC 12.5 CC 0 TA 110 Ph 7.4 CYA 40

Moved from here. Can too much antifreeze returning into pool and no sun to burn it off cause your pool.to be cloudy even though the chemistry is spot on? I am planning to replace sand as well just in case it is a filter issue

Has anyone heard of the Water Tech Pool Blaster Power Rated 3000? I just got an e-mail from the company that this unit is being sold for 50% off until June 15th. It comes complete with caddy and it offers top loading for easy cleaning. I can find no reviews online but looking at other websites...
