First let me list my test results from this morning.
FC = 5.0
PH = 7.5
TA = 100
CH = 100
CYA = ~42
The water has been very clear since pool opening on 5/4/15. The test levels have been consistently around where they are now. Yesterday I noticed the water was starting to get a little cloudy but I could see the liner pattern detail clearly on the deep end at 8 ft. The water level in the pool had been above the skimmer for about 2 weeks at that point due to the excessive rain we have had. I had been cleaning the water surface with the leaf skimmer net since the water was not getting skimmed the normal way due to the high water level. Yesterday I backwashed to lower the pool level to below the skimmer so the water is now getting filtered by the skimmer and drain lines and I left the pump running on low all night. I thought that might clear up the slightly cloudy water but this morning the cloudy water condition is much worse. I can bearly see my bottom drains. Does anyone have any ideas why I have this cloudy water?
Thanks,
Dave.
