Hello! I've experienced cloudy water for the past few days. How often do I re-shock? I have a inground pool, 25,000 gallons. I've noticed it getting slightly better everytime I re-shock, but didnt know if I should be doing it every couple hours, once a day etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Right now my FC is at the highest, but water still cloudy. Should I shock again? Thanks!

4sanzas,
Welcome to the forum. Shocking a pool is a continuous process that goes on until your water clears. Simply bringing the FC up to shock level or throwing unknown quantitites of powder into your pool is not shocking

Saying FC is at it's highest is not reliable enough for us to help you. :?
Do you have a test kit? You can order one from a the link in my siggy made by our very own duraleigh if you don't.
If not, you should run a sample over to the pool store. We will need a sample reading on FC, CC, TC, pH, TA, CH and most of all CYA.
