Hi folks,
I am a 7+ year TFP user ... I love you guys! You have saved me tons of money and helped me help the whole neighborhood switch to @ home pool management. I know I'm responsible for at least 3 TF-100 Test kit sales, so I have the economic proof that I preach the gospel.
The problem I could use your insight on:
Pool is cloudy and green-ish despite numbers all being stable. Well, stable except after a lot of rain my TA dropped to 40 which has never happened before. As soon as I realized it I corrected the problem. Now after 1 week I am still looking at a cloudy pool.
Here are my numbers/pool specs:
IG Vinyl 25,000
FC:7
CC:0
TA:70
PH: 7.2
CYA: 55-60
In full confession, I have for years used a non polyquat algicide adding 1-2 Tablespoons a week during our short Vermont pool season. With the stable chlorine & green pool I added about a half cup thinking that would clear the problem, but as you can see below it didn't.
Aside from vacuuming the pool, cleaning the filters, and keeping check on the chemicals, any other thoughts on what might be at issue?
Thanks so much in advance for all of your assistance!
