WE used a new PC to open this year, and they dumped a ton of shock (I believe he said 20 lbs) & algaecide then said to run pump 24/7 and backwash every 6ish hrs. THat was Tue morning, and it is now Saturday morning with a ton of improvement in the 1st 1-2 days and little since then. I can see the shallow end though it's cloudy, and I still can't see anything except the white drain plug (barely) in the deep end. I'm concerned the CYA is too high and locking up chlorine? I saw the dot at 100 and not at 90, so not sure if that's 100 or 90, but since we're not running our salt cell yet I'm assuming the level should be closer to 30 like a traditional pool. I did all my tests though I'm not concerned about addressing all teh levels until the pool clears up so 'm not just backwashing out everything I add and continuing to have to adjust for dilution when I refill with my hose.
I've attached a few photos, but keep in mind it's a black bottom pool which is super reflective esp with all the landscaping around it. Ignore all the tiles that popped off in the spa. What should I be doing now? Also worth mentioning we're leaving for spring break tomorrow morning or a well :/
THANKS!
