Hello everyone, my name is Ed. I am new to posting here, but have been following the site for the last year since i had my pool installed. I finally broke down and ordered the 2006c test kit. Hopefully I get it soon as I am having a big problem. I have been using the pool store for my water testing since i started along with a basic test kit that i have. I just dont buy their chemicals. The last storm here in michigan really messed up my pool. Here are the results of my latest tests taken today.
Free chlorine - 5.0
Total chlorine - 5.0
Combined Chlorine - 0
pH - 7.7
Alkalinity - 111
Cyanuric Acid - 26
Ever since the storm my water has been cloudy. I can still see the bottom of the pool. I tried shocking the pool with a 1lb bag(I typically use liquid) and the result didn't get any better. My water is still cloudy. The pool is a 12 by 21 oval. Is there any recommendations from anyone until I receive my test kit? This is driving me crazy. I had crystal clear water 3 days ago.
Thanks,
Ed
