My chemistry is checked daily and the water is crystal clear prior to a party. I have an in floor cleaning system which appears to be working quite well. After a party for 15 little girl scouts (age 11) the pool is cloudy. Is this just dust that the cleaner is not getting? Any thoughts?

I have a 17000 gal pool with spill over spa, ozonator, jug dumping, 50ppm of borate. The pool looks great, perfectly clear but my pH keeps drifting to 7.8. I have some iron staining so am trying to keep pH a little closer to 7.5. I am having to add about a quart of acid every week to get the...

I have been running my pool pump for 10 hours a day and currently have crystal clear water. I am running at 3000 rpm, which currently gives me 1.9 turnovers/day. I am thinking of running at 1500 rpm for 16 hours which would be 1.4 turnovers/day. Does this sound reasonable? What do I watch for?
