    Cloudy blue water

    Thank you all. Im getting the sand filter this weekend. I knew the pool should have been covered and we would be swimming by now. My husband has learned a costly lesson. Lol He was too lazy to do it, and i could not do it by myself. Im sure that mistake will not be made again. ��

    Yes it is the standard intex filter. I was thinking of getting a new one, but since im still a new pool owner, i was worried a sand filter would be more complicated. The last thing i need is sand in my pool... Lol Thank you for your response.

    Cloudy blue water

    To start: Cl: 5 Ph: 7.2 Ta: 120 Ch: 210 Cya: 35 I began trying to 'open' my pool about 3 weeks ago. It was not covered over the winter so it was really bad. I have followed the slam method to the letter so far. Everything seems perfect except that it is still so cloudy that i cant see the...

    I don't think the pic posted, but I'm not sure how to do it. Anyway the pool is blue... A good color, but completely cloudy. Can only see a few inches.

    Swamp pool after Vacation

    content://media/external/file/63316 Is this looking normal? All levels are good. The exact same as last post. I have kept adding bleach to maintain fc of at least 12.

    Swamp pool after Vacation

    To start I have a 22×52 round above ground pool. New this year. I had the pool perfect after having dealt with iron in my water when I filled the pool. I left for 10 days, some of those the hottest so far this summer, and came home to what looked like a Louisiana Bayou. First I tested it. All...
