Since I'm new to proper testing (and not the eyeball test I've used for years ) and still finding my feet, what is the general consensus on cloudy water?
My pool was renovated almost 8 weeks ago now.
White marbellite was used.
Municipal water was used to fill.
Left for 21 days without using a pool cleaner.
Up until Week 6 the water was crystal clear.
First rain and the pool turned a pale green - shocked and blue again.
Same story with second rain.
Water cloudy ever since the first rain.
Only chlorine used until now.
Surface clean.
Pool floor clean.
First chemical tests:
Chlorine < 0.1 ppm (I guess this is the biggest problem!)
PH > 8.2
Could not complete an acid demand test
I decided to shock with chlorine until I get the pH right
Care to hazard a guess as to how I end up resolving this?
