PH making jacuzzi water cloudy

Hi all,

I’ve had this issue on two refills now and dang figure it out.

I have a 3500 liter fiberglass jacuzzi with a gas heater. My understanding is that this requires to keep my calcium at 250’ish, which I’ve done.

All of my other numbers are perfectly in range according to the Pool Math app, and I’m using a Taylor test kid.

The issue I’m having is the slightest bit of PH up is causing cloudy water. I’m talking about a spoon full is clouding the water… and all I’m doing is slightly raining the PH into range 7.6-7.8.


Is this as a result of the calcium? How do I prevent this?

Fixing the cloudiness is a hassle each time also. Usually I have to empty and refill as bringing the PH down and running the pump for a few hours doesn’t fix it.

Thanks in advance!
 
What is your pH and TA before you adjust it?

Why do you need to raise the pH?

What is lowering your pH?

What chemical is in your pH UP?

How are you chlorinating?
 
Post a picture of the product. So we can see what you adding. On that note, post all the products you have on hand that you use.
Liquid chlorine does not raise pH. It raises chlorine levels.

The liquid chlorine answer was just for the question on how I chlorinate :)

Here's the PH up and liquid chlorine I have here. I'm in Colombia
