OK I am responding to this because I need some pointers also. My pool was completely balanced all levels. They were perfect after the slam method have been maintaining it the past couple days water was still cloudy. I was told to add algae guard which the last time I added algae guard it worked. I just added that today. Is there any other suggestions since I have already balanced and maintain and still had cloudy water. Note-I didn’t use liquid chlorine Don’t know if that makes a difference.
