cloudy water after adding 25kg Calcium Chloride to deep end

[JoseAlgete]

Hello,

I finished refurbishing my pool, and after filling it I chekced the CH, which was at 50 ppm (TA of 70, PH 7.6). According to pool math I added 25 kg of Calcium Chloride to the deep end of the pool, and now the water is cloudy (has been for about 6 hours and does not reduce), pump on all the time.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Jose

All you can do now is wait. Adding that much calcium chloride at once was not a good idea. Be sure none of it is sitting on the floor of the pool.

Thank you for your quick repply. How long do you think it will take to dissolve?

Thanks!!

It is dissolved. The cloudiness may take a day or two to subside. Check your pH. That much at once may have spiked it higher.
