No lights or steps. I have two ladders and that is all. I brush both when I brush the pool.

Been fighting cloudy water for a couple weeks now and can't get it solved. I'll start off with my test results from this AM and then go through what I've tried: PH 7.2 FC 6 CC 0 TA 130 CYA 45 I didn't have a chance to check Calcium, will after work (usually on the low side at beginning of year)...

This morning : FC 4 CC 0 Water is clearing up nicely, can see the bottom to get rest of leaves out. Feeling better about the pool and my sanity.

FC at 10 and CC at 0 for last test of the night. I'll test again in the morning.

Did another test when I got home today. FC 3 CC 0 PH 7.2 TA 80 CH 150 CYA- unknown still

Haha, yes!

I thought the same exact thing, it really had me at a loss

I'm completely out of the CYA test, so I'm waiting on those refills. I also found it weird that before I did the shock this evening, my PH showed 8.2 or above on the drop test. After I added the chlorine and tested again, the PH showed around 7.2. - - - Updated - - - CC was around 2 when I tested

I'm waiting on my refills for the T100, I used my leftovers from the T100 which are close to two years old and the basic drop test.

So, I started my opening yesterday of an expected green pool. I had to close my pool earlier than I wanted to last year due to having back surgery at the end of September, so I expected it to be a mess. So I got everything started up and circulating, vacuumed to waste and shocked it last night...

That's what I thought ??

Yes, has been a dream for a couple weeks now. Add chlorine and brush/net the bottom daily is all I've had to do (adding about a gallon of 10% every two days). One question, all my water numbers are excellent PH 7.2, TA 150, CYA 30, but my CH is low at 100. Should I be worried about it?

After fighting cloudiness at opening, then a leak, then an algae outbreak while pool leaking on vacation- I have conquered ?

Ok, I have returned from vacation and ready to tackle this problem if possible. I had to just let the pool sit while I was gone, so it is good and green. Before I left, I let the pool continue to fall without adding water. I put the plugs in my return jets as well. Before I left, the water was...

Ok, I have discovered that I definitely have am losing water in my pool to a leak. I noticed I was losing around an inch and a half or more of water in around 24 hours. So here are the steps I've taken so far: 2 days ago I filled to normal level (little over half way up the skimmer inlet)...

Here are my latest readings with my test kit. I did shock the pool again last night. FC-13 CC-0 PH-7.2 TA-175 CH-100 CYA-32 Seeing more and more of the bottom of the pool everyday and I'm brushing every day. Filter has been holding steady PSI. Should I be concerned with my TA and CH numbers?

Pool back up and running full steam this afternoon, and I could see the bottom when I took off the cover!

My CYA seems to still be around 10-15. Water is 70 degrees. I've added 4 pounds of stabilizer and I have 4 more on hand. I did some investigating on the filter and appears my spider gasket is shot. While I'm at it, are there any seals/gaskets on the pump diverter besides the spider and big O...

Well, now I'm having an issue with filter not wanting to hold any pressure. It surges up to 5 for a second and drops to zero

Ok, pool still remains cloudy. I did a good, long vac to waist the best I could without being able to see the bottom. The pic is of what I stirred up on the bottom of the pool with the skimmer vac brush. I'm down to 4 days to get the sucker clear and not gaining confidence ?

Got a nice sunny day today, so took off the cover and vacuumed. Pool continues to be cloudy. I back washed after vacuum and added more DE. I hadn't tested my chlorine in a couple days because I wanted to see what it would hold. Readings today were 6 FC and 1CC. Going to let the sun hit it all...

Chlorine went to about 7.5 during the day today. Water is still pretty cloudy. I put the solar cover on last night because I need try to warm this thing up for a party on May 29. And I need a clear pool too ?

Another overnight with no loss of FC. Thanks for the compliments Texas.

Deep clean complete and DE added. Back washed, rinsed and gave it a good brushing. Bumped the chlorine back up to 10 from 6. Here are some pics after I brushed the pool

I will definitely try those. Will doing either affect the CYA I'm putting in the pool? I'm probably due for a backwash as well.

It's in my sig on my original post, but it is a sand filter. I do have some DE on hand

Still cloudy, wasn't able to tell if it was more clear before I left for work this morning. But it has gotten clearer each day, but still pretty cloudy. I could not see the bottom of the shallow end yesterday

Zero loss of FC overnight and CC was zero

Lost maybe 2 FC today (at 7 now) and I'm at .5 CC. Went ahead and tested for CYA even though not all of it has dissolved and I'm right around 20. Pump pressure is at 18 (starting point 14)

I was able to check me chlorine this morning before leaving for work. I only lost 1, maybe 2 overnight.
