    High calcium, everything else in check but water is cloudy?

    Re: High calcium, everything else in check but water is clou Richard....I had my oldest jump in with his goggles. He says you can see the bottom fairly well from the top of the water (just by putting his face in) and my pool floor is in fact there, the nice blue pebbled pattern that I have come...

    2nd go round with cloudy water

    Re: High calcium, everything else in check but water is clou Hey Dory! Yes the weather here was horrific for a week. Terrible storms, hot, humid...nasty! I'm no expert but I don't think that you should add alkalinity booster and ph booster at the same time. Doesn't alkalinity typically raise...

    High calcium, everything else in check but water is cloudy?

    Re: High calcium, everything else in check but water is clou And no...you cannot see the bottom, just down the walls almost to the bottom. Considering that the pool is only 18 round and 52 deep, it's pretty cloudy. Not really a milky cloudy, just not clear in the least. :cry:

    High calcium, everything else in check but water is cloudy?

    Re: High calcium, everything else in check but water is clou I ordered the TF-100. Just checked the tracking and it should be here tomorrow. :goodjob: We were using strips originally, but pulled out our cheapo kit. It is very hard to read/differentiate. It doesn't have CC, only FC and...

    High calcium, everything else in check but water is cloudy?

    Re: High calcium, everything else in check but water is clou Been brushing and vacuuming every day very thoroughly, paying close attention to one side of the pool that seems to be a problem area. I think there was definitely a read error on the Calcium on my part. I did it twice this morning...

    Re: High calcium, everything else in check but water is clou Right...sorry about that. We have a cartridge system. Pump seems to be working spot on. No leaks. Cartridge was just replaced when we kicked the algae issue. This morning's reads are: CYA 50 FC 6 PH 7.2 TA 120 TH 600 TC 8 We have...

    High calcium, everything else in check but water is cloudy?

    good morning! Been struggling with our pool all summer long. We had a green algae outburst and kicked it about 2 weeks ago. Since then our water has been so cloudy that we cannot see the bottom. The only problem I can detect is that the calcium is sky high (around 600 :shock: ). It is a vinyl...
