Making slow progress with water exchange.....CyA is falling though. But Alkalinity was very low. Added some alkalinity increaser and BAM, cloudy water this AM! Ughhh....So frustrating. Ph - 7.4 Alkalinity- 40 Before adding increaser CyA - 112 ....was 180+ before beginning exchange Hardness -...

New question.....Is this calcium staining on the pool? How can I diagnose what this actually is and what caused it?

So I’m continuing to exchange water. Should I continue to add liquid chlorine? Guess I’ll test again tomorrow. No need to start Slam until CyA is dropped to reasonable level??

Yes....diluted. TA was 240.....isn’t that really high?

TA seems way off...I may try that one again.

First attempt with the test kit..... FC - 12.5 CC - 1.5 TC - 14 CH - 300 PH - 7.2 TA - 250 CyA-120 I’ve been exchanging water the last two nights and adding 64 ounces of 10% Liquid Chlorine per night. Water is currently clear. What’s next? Thanks!

So you think Algae is my issue that is causing the cloudy water? I floc’d the pool last Sunday, vacuumed Monday. Water was crystal clear until we wake up Saturday morning to a cloudy pool. Pool guys have been no help...basically throwing their hands in the air. I’ll order the test kit. In the...

Currently have a 1 year old 20,000 gallon fiberglass pool. Pool was completed August of 2019 and closed Oct 2019. Since reopening (by the original installer) we have had nothing but problems. Pool immediately developed apparent calcium scale on the surface of the pool and now has been cloudy...
