I doubt it's mustard algae. Are you running the pump 24/7?
How often are you testing and bringing it back to shock level now?

No...unrelated. disregard your calcium until the shock process is complete. Don't lose your patience.Could a lack of calcium be causing cloudiness in the water.
No, pH should have no effect. Additionally, it is doubtful your pH would change much in that time frame.If my pH was way up, I figured that could be causing this residual haze
TomTinNC said:I'm staying in shock until I meet TFP guidelines. Kids are getting impatient here, want to swim. I read that you guys would swim in pool at shock level, but I've been telling the kids to stay out of it. Kids are a bit of an understatement, since mine are a bit older now...but still kids none the less. Plus, adding that load to what the chlorine is already doing might make my job of maintaining shock more difficult. I will maintain shock until I pass OCLT they way it is described here, I just wasn't sure how "crystal" clear was interpreted. Some people might think my pool is now "crystal" clear. I think it could get a wee tad bit better. I haven't changed filters in 3 days now, and sustaining clean pressure on filters. Its looking swimmingly, which is truly amazing......considering where it was in February. My neighbor looked at it and said, "I think you'd be better off dumping that thing and buying a new pool." I knew I could get it clean and clear, because I pulled it off last year. My filter and pump are the bomb. The chemistry stuff is where I was lacking. I was only testing pH, and the only way I could get chlorine was pucks. Life is so much easier and cheaper this way.
