Pool cloudy after 3 straight days of rain

[bytecowboy]

Pool has turned murky after raining for 3 days straight. Tested FC/CC around noon today then the rest of the numbers a few hours later to make sure there wasn't something off:

FC 3.5
CC 0
CYA 30
TA 110
CH 300

With so much cloud cover and the lower temps FC hasn't seemed to drift lower very much so I don't think it's dipped low enough to let algae bloom, but maybe I'm incorrect. I took the off trippers off the pump timer to let it run 24/7 and I don't see any areas where there could be runoff into the pool for debris to make it cloudy. I took FC up to shock level just to be thorough, but curious if there is something else I should be thinking about other than just running the pump continuously until it clears up?

Raising FC to shock and extra filtering is the right idea. A brush wouldn't hurt either.

you can check FC overnight loss to make sure the cloudiness is not organic in nature.

Is there rainwater draining into your pool?? Or did it just turn murky. Got a pic?

Passed an overnight test. FC down to 11 from 12 with a CC of 0.

There shouldn't be anything outside draining into the pool, it's surrounded by pavers and I don't see anything flowing down from the flowerbeds or yard. It just slowly got cloudy over the course of the 3 days of rain.

Yeah, I don't think any run-off got in your pool......it's really not too bad.

If it was my pool, I would run the pump 24/7 and elevate your FC to twice normal and keep it there for a couple of days. Brush and vacuum and clean your filter if necessary......I think it will clear right up.
