I came on here last week about ready to pull my hair out. We put up our first AG pool and within days it was full of cloudy water. I used the Aqua Chem strips and chemicals and they just had me going in circles but never clearing up the problem! I came here and was told to get a better test kit, quit using shock and chlorine tabs and use 2 cups of bleach every day just to keep whatever the problem is at bay. I did all of the above. Now I have my nice shiny new Taylor K-2006 test kit! Today I watched videos showing me how to do all the tests, performed them all and have my chemical numbers all ready for you guys!
FC is 5.4 ppm
Combined Chlorine is .8ppm
pH is 7.4
TA is 120
CH is 20ppm
CYA is 60ppm
Hopefully I did all my tests right! My water is very cloudy and I did have spots of algae on the bottom of the pool a few weeks ago. I SHOCKed the pool before coming here and it seemed to get rid of the algae, but the water will not clear up. Someone please HELP me get this straightened out. I am a tired mother of 6 children that just want to swim in a clean pool.....
