Going CLOUDY!! HELP!!

[westc]

Ok. Thanks for the help!

Here are my numbers for about 5 minutes ago...
FC 4.5 (added two 96 oz jugs of bleach after test)
CC 0
pH 7.5
TA 140
CH 193
CYA 46
Temp 84F
Appearance=cloudy

 

[westc]

Seems like maybe its clearing a little now...any input on the test levels?

 

[duraleigh]

Yes, How are you arriving at the CH and CYA levels?

 

[westc]

Color Q and Taylor tests. I did repeat them and got very close to same results...

 

[duraleigh]

Your pool should be clear by now. I don't think the colorQ has a good reputation for accuracy in CYA testing. What did you get for CYA when you used Taylor's?

 

[westc]

Within 5ppm of the colorQ...I was surprised as HE(double LL)!!!!!

If your pool is still cloudy today and you do not see NOTICEABLE improvement from yesterday, I suggest you bring your FC up to around 20ppm and HOLD IT THERE until your pool clears. I do not think you have killed all the algae.

Are you running the pump 24/7 and cleaning the filter as necessary?
