For about 10 years I had kept my inground pool crystal clear using trichlor tabs with a weekly 48-oz dose of supermarket algicide and clarifier, monitoring Cl but not PH, which I judged wasn't very important. Subsequently I was apprised of the effect of excessive acidity, explaining--aha--why I was never had been able to keep my eyes open underwater
About 60 lb of soda ash was required to bring the Ph up to around 7.6. No that's not a typo; it took 60 lb, sixty
However the addition of this substance also clouded the water. While my sand filter eventually cleared it to where I could plainly make out the drain at the deep end, for the past couple of years it has never been as clear as before, even when I recently doubled the algi-clari dose, making my life just that much more expensive
So can you proffer a guess about the haziness and how can I counter it easily and cheaply. Thanks all, you've been an immense help with other matters too
