Ok, so I held off for awhile and tried to figure this out on my own but I need some help getting my pool water clear. This is my first post here so please bare with me. I made the mistake of opening my pool a couple weeks later than normal because I wanted to install my newly purchased SWG first and ended up with a pool full of green water. So the first thing I did was added 2 pounds of shock which I believe was Dichlor and a gallon of algaecide. The next day the water was still green so I had the water tested at a pool store and the results are as follows
FC - .11
CC - .2
PH - 8.1
TA - 32
CH - 20
CYA - 9
Saturation index - -0.7
At that point I was told to add 5lbs of Alk plus and 20-25pds of calcium, 4 gallons of liquid shock and 1 gallon of algaecide. The next morning I woke up to clear water with algae just on the bottom of the pool which I vacuumed up. At that point my water was clear. I then added the required salt to begin getting my salt levels between 2700-3400ppm. Since my SWG is brand new, the instructions say to have the water chemistry at ideal levels and running the filter for 24 to 48 hrs before turning on the cell so I had the water retested. Results
FC - .19
CC - 0
PH - 7.3
TA - 38
CH - 100
CYA - 3
Saturation index - -0.9
So I was told to add 5 more pounds of Alk plus and 15 more pounds of calcium plus. I now how cloudy water and I have no idea why. Any advise or input is greatly appreciated.
