    Cloudy water but most things seem balanced

    Just tested with Taylor K-2006 and my results were as in the image. Yet the pool is so milky cloudy we can't see our feet past the 2.5 depth. Ideas? Using chlorine tablets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Slightly cloudy?

    FC 3 CC 0 pH 7.2 TA 60 CYA 45 The color is great but it's still slightly cloudy. I can see the outline of the deep end but no detail. The shallow end appears clear but obviously isn't quite.

    New and not sure what to do

    My cousin left us to house-sit for the month while he's in military training. He's completely unreachable. All he showed us on the pool maintenance was how to backwash the sand filter and to shock it once a week. To my understanding it is a SWG system with a vinyl liner. The pool was fine...
