I have a 27' round above ground that has had cloudy water most of the summer. I am looking for advice on how to clear it up and maybe some insight as to what may have caused it. Right now, these are my test results:
pH 7.0
FC 4.5
CC .5
TA 70
CYA 60
These numbers have been fairly consistent for most of the season, except for the TA was low when we opened it. When we opened it, the water looked clear. Within a few weeks, the water appeared to have some sort of fine white particles suspended in the water that would settle out when the pump was shut off. Now, I don't see the white particles any more, but the water will not clear up. We used clarifier some time ago, which may have helped some then, but not enough. Should i use that again? If so, how exactly should i use it? Should the pump be turned off after the three hours it says on the bottle before I sweep the pool?
Please help....
