hello i have a 16ft. x 32ft. inground pool 3ft to 8ft. it has a sand filter and i use 3in. trichlor tablets through a feeder. when i shock my pool i use cal-hypo 63% most of the time(other times its the 73%). my problem is that i have been fighting a cloudy pool most of the season i had it clear for about 3 weeks this whole summer. it took me about 3 weeks to a month for me to get it fully clear(where i can see the bottom of the deep end). well i neglected it for about 4 days(just with the cleaning) and i had i nice green film along the bottom of the whole pool, but it was still clear. i started to vacuum the algae from the bottom of the pool and the water started to get a cloudy green which i knew would happen. that was about a week ago. since then i have been shocking and cleaning the pool everyday if not every other day. the water is back to blue but now im fighting the cloudy water(same as the first month of me opening). for me the problem isnt getting the green out of the pool but getting the pool clear again. anyone with suggestions please help im hoping on having it clear by the weekend and its getting rough. i try to run my pump at least 6 hours a day, lately its been a bit more. just tested the water here are the results.
