Love this forum people...having an issue with cloudy water. Pool was opened two weeks ago. Severely dark green/black water due to cover failure from bad winter snow. Shocked pool and continually shocking as we speak and water is blue but hazy and not clear, filter (sand) has been running 24/7 now for two weeks. Tested this morning and the numbers are as follows:
27' round AG with a depth of 52" calculated to 19,300 gallons
21" HAYWARD Sand filter with 1 HP pump
FC: 17
CC: .5
TC: 17.5
Ph : 7.5
TA: 80
CH: 150
CYA: 50
Temp : 76
Using a TF100 test kit and these numbers have been the same for about four days now....water is blue...the bottom of the pool can be seen however that crystal clear water is not there yet.....I am wondering if this is a filter issue or a shock issue(however I have been shocking for quite sometime now)....I am tempted to use a flocculant or clarifier but according to all the posts I read on this forum it is not recommended and often frowned upon....any advice would be greatly appreciated.....I converted to the BBB method two years ago and have loved this method ever since...please help a frustrated bbb method user....thanks....Joe
