Hi everyone,
I have recently moved to a property with a pool and have been working on balancing chemicals and replacing broken equipment. The pool was green when we got it and contained a lot of organic matter. After clearing that up the pump sadly died. I decided to replace it and the sand filter (as the original had a broken multiport valve, laterals, pressure plate etc...was pumping a heap of sand directly into the pool and losing a lot of water out of the waste port).
Good news was that I got it clean and reasonably balanced before the pump went out.
However, after replacing equipment two days ago and vacuuming the pool with the new equipment, it became VERY cloudy to the point that I can't see more than 2ft (60cm) deep. I have been running the filter for about 10 hours a day since with no luck.
The pool company recommended some flocc to try and clean it up, which I did this morning and ran the pump for a good 8 hours after, but still no luck.
Also, the borate seems VERY high, considering how much water we have lost cleaning and such.
Here are the pool levels:
FC: 2.38
TC: 2.62
CC: 0.24
PH: 7.9 (a little high, resolving that)
CYA: 76
Hardness: 122
Alkalinity: 118
Copper: 0.1
Iron: 0.1
Borate: 232
Salt: 5300
Any thoughts would be great.
