First, my numbers:
TC=6.5
FC=6.5
CYA=60
TA=75
pH=7.6
CH=180
OCLT - consistently 0.5 or less (occasionally 1.0) - measured over 2 week period
I've been battling this all season. When I opened in May, I shocked the pool and noticed that once the FC got to around 5.0, there would be a slight cloudiness to the water, I mean really slight to the point where I question if it is really cloudy. But I know what it looks like when it sparkles and that's my reference point.So, then I shock it and within hours, it sparkles.
So, it's driving me crazy......I would think the a 5.0 FC should be fine for my pool (SWG at 60 CYA). But for some reason, once it hits that level, I start to notice this slight cloudiness.
So that's where I am now.....I will shock this morning and I'm sure it will be crystal clear by later this afternoon. But any ideas of why this is happening at what I would call a reasonable FC level? Especially since I continue to pass the OCLT?
