Hi All
Every year I close my pool with PERFECT, clear water. Have a mesh cover. When I open its ALWAYS a little cloudy - just a little. I always figured it was pollen - 1 week with a skimmer sock & vac-ing and it was perfect again. Not THIS YEAR! opened 4-15 (tax day every year) Still having a problem with the cloudiness - getting better slowly but not there yet. The skimmer sock is full of White GOO daily.
Its a 19K gal 16x32 with an auto pilot SWG (GREATEST INVENTION EVER!)
Yesterdays #'s... (from a pool store- I trust them.) Very mild winter in Central PA - they told me a lot of people have similar issues this year. Will run my own tests tomorrow with my TFP kit
FC 6.2 ppm
TC 8.9 PPM
CC 2.7 PPM
pH 7.7
Hardness 140
Alkalinity 93 PPM
CYA 25 PPM
Salt 3200
I don't think its algae - No yellow / green tint to it - just white-ish milky color - same for the stuff caught in the skimmer sock
They recommended shocking and a clarifier - I put 6# of SAM's club shock and their clarifier (forget the name - tossed the empty bottle) - not really helping yet
Any Thoughts??
Thanks
