Hello,
I will be greatful for any suggestions on how handle my milky water problem. I cannot see more than a foot below the surface. It all started when I had to replace my pump motor. I was using a 1 hp with a Hayward S180T sand filter. I replaced the motor with a 1 1/2 hp two speed motor. There was about two days of down time while I was dealing with the pump problem.
I have tried shocking the pool with 6% chlorine bleach but the problem has worsened. I even changed the sand in my filter, to no avail.
My current readings are as follows: FC = 21, CC = 1.5, PH = 7.5, TA = 70, CH = 140 and CYA = 115. My tests were made using a TFTest kit. I don't trust my CYA reading but it is in the 100+ range.
