We had rain this weekend and my pool is cloudy, blue but cloudy. Thursday I was in the pool which stirred up some sediment (I think dead algea) on the bottom of the pool. I also adjusted my return jet to point just under the water surface (previously it had been pointed further up and stired the surface of the water quite a bit).
Here are the water test numbers
FC = 17
CC < .5
Ph = 8.0
TA = 220
CH = 220
CYA = 140
I know that the CYA level is really high (but is better than the 220 it was about 2 weeks ago). I need to lower the Ph with, I think, will also lower the TA.
Question: Do I need to shock to get the water to clear up? The FC is holding and the CC is low.
