Hey guys need your advice. Over the winter I did nothing to the pool. In March I started my battle with the algae which went pretty well. I used enough bleach to sanitize a small lake, but the almost black water turned bright green then gray then cloudy blue. I've been running the filter 24/7 for almost a month straight now but the water is still cloudy.
My CH was pretty low (<20) during the "battle" so last weekend I added 8lbs of calcium and that helped with the cloudiness. I did 2 flock treatments which really didn't do much and today I added 4 more lbs of calcium and tonight my CH is up to 250.
Also I'm backwashing daily and now that the bottom is visable brushing every couple days.
What am I missing? Why can't I get this water clear?
My numbers from tonight:
FC: 12 CC:<.5 pH:7.5 TA:100 CH:250 CYA:30
Thanks,
Randy
