My water started looking a touch cloudy sunday. I checked my levels and they were
fc 7.5
cc 0
Ph 7.2 ( had added ma to get ta down)
Calcuim hardness 60ppm
Cya 60 ppm
Backwashed pump and added 16 oz cal/hypo because water was starting to get cloudy and i was expecting swimmers.
Tuesday it looked even more cloudy.
fc 8
cc .5
Today it was really cloudy... Like algae bloom cloudy, but my cc was only .5 so i added 1 cup cal/hypo and went to work. Got home and it was cloudy green. Or dirty.. Backwashed my filter again just incase it was dirty. Took readings
fc 10ppm
cc .5
ph 7.2
backwashed and put 1 more cup cal/hypo. Im so confused because i thought if the cc was low that it meant nothing was eating up the chlorine... Im doing the test exactly like the instructions said. I have never gotten high cc readings but my water was always clear until sunday. I have obviously dirty water and my combined chlorine is only .5??? Help!!!! Im wonding if my filter is not filtering.... Even tho it has been for about a month since i took the cover off! Changed the sand last year and changed the spider gasket/ valve on the miltiport. Im really scratching my head...
