Hello from south Alabama. We bought a house in the fall with a pool and I can’t figure this thing out. I found this forum a few weeks ago after a 4 inch rain turned my pool from clear to cloudy and green overnight. I ordered a TF100 and started using liquid chlorine (10%) and brushing daily while I waited for the test to arrive. I used the standard chlorine/ph drop kit until the TF100 came in. The pool was crystal clear after about 10 days total and stayed that way for the next week. A couple of days ago I checked the pool in the morning and it looked like a barely noticeable brownish film was covering the entire floor and wall surfaces so I brushed it and added chlorine. A couple hours later it had settled again. I tested and added more chlorine and it just seems to be getting worse and now very cloudy, but my water tests aren’t changing all that much and I am adding 1/2 gallon of chlorine per day on average.
I’m not real sure what to do next. Maybe the SLAM I’ve read about? Any help is appreciated!
