Backstory: Bought house with pool in January. Got it going good with yalls advise. I bought a stenner pump and a drum of chlorine. its been going good.
I go on vacation last week, i thought i had plenty chlorine in the stenner but i was wrong. Got home saturday to a very green pool.
I poured a bunch of chlorine in and the next day its not green but very cloudy.
So ive been adding at least a gallon everyday and its still cloudy, i actually got out the tablet holder and put it in there with 4 3"tablets in it
I read where it could be the ph, so i got some muriatic acid today
My test results when i got home from work were:
FC - 0 , last night it was around 10
pH - above 8, 7.5 after adding half gallon of acid
so i add 2 gallons of chlorine to shock, now my readings are:
fc - 11
ph - 8ish (i read its not very accurate during shocking)
TA - 140
CH - 100
CYA- 30ish
I have 14000 gallon above ground with sand filter
What should i do???
I havent tried brushing walls or floor, but it doesnt seem dirty just cloudy but that could just be ignorance
