    CH level causing cloudiness when increasing pH?

    I am not having a persistent clouding issue. The clouding happens the instant I broadcast pH+ powder to the pool. It makes these billowing white plumes which eventually disperse to create a very very slight clouding of my just previously crystal clear pool water. After a day or so it clears...

(Poolife Active Cleaning Caplets which are just like the older Durations, mainly to finish off what we had bought in the past.) Over the winter it has a...
