I need some advice on my pool water. I live outside of Memphis, TN where we have had over 12" of rain in the last couple of weeks. Last week in rained almost 11" in 48 hours. The rain and run off flooded our pool. Our pool is new, only a couple of months since completed which means our landscaping is not complete. With all the rain we had a lot of muddy water wash into the pool. I have vacuumed it a couple of times and no longer see a huge amount of dirt settling on the bottom. I was out of town when it flooded and didn't get home to take care of everything for about 3 days. When i got home I had a low salt warning so I added the amount of salt recommended on the pool calculator and brought the salt up from 2300 to 3200. At this point all my numbers are back to pre-flood except FC.
Pre-flood numbers
FC - 6
pH - 7.8
TA - 90
CH - 240
CYA - 60
Borate - 0
Salt - 3200
I had been working to bring CH and CYA up a little and had planned to add Borates soon.
After flood numbers
FC - 9
pH - 7.8
TA - 100
CH - 230
CYA- 60
Salt - 3200
Why is my FC so high? I have tried turning down the chlorine generator which i had set to 45% before but that has not helped. Also, the water is very cloudy, before flood it was very clear now its very cloudy (not green cloudy). I have assumed it was just dirt so i have backwashed several times and I increased the filter run time. Is this dirt? or do I have some other problem?
