Please help me!!! I've been trying to get my pool swim-ready for 3 weeks and it's still cloudy. Here's the story...
When we opened it, it had a lot of algae (was really green), no chlorine and no cya. The pool company added liquid chlorine and algecide. They also said that the CH was low and had me add a powder to increase it.
The water is now blue but very cloudy and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I can only see about a foot or two down. I'm keeping the chlorine at shock level - the stores must think I'm crazy from all the bleach I'm buying!!!
Here's my numbers:
FC: 16
CC: 1.0
pH: 7.2
TA: 140
CH: 340
CYA: 60
I have an above-ground pool (apx 17,000 gal) with a sand filter.
Any thoughts?
thanks,
Rebecca
