All,
I opened my pool and it was dark green and filled with Algea. So, I just installed a new Hayward Sand Filter and new sand and started slamming and forgot to adjust the PH before doing so.
I Started on 05/14/2014. At dusk I poured in 4 gallons of 12% bleach. I tested FC the next night and was at 13.5 and my CC was at 1. Based on my CYA, I need to keep shock at 15. So, I poured in the recommend level of bleach. I've been trying to maintain that level at 15. I tested last night and was good. This morning when I woke up it was at 12.5. So, I poured in 52oz of bleach as recommended by the pool calculator. The pool looks better everyday, but now I notice it's getting cloudy. Is that a good sign or bad? I know PH readings are off if FC is over 10, so I guess I will have to wait before messing with that, correct? Any advice?
