This is our 3rd season with our vinyl, salt water pool. Our pool has always been crystal clear. As I started learning about maintaining our pool I made notes about what to adjust first if needed. This year, I noted that our CH level was 140 and the recommended level was 200-400. I bought calcium hardness increaser, but noted that my alkalinity was slighy low at 70 with a recommended range of 80-100. I first added baking soda to get my alkalinity to 80. The next day we added 25lbs of the calcium hardness increaser directly to the water. I am reading now that this was a mistake. After a day or two all my numbers are good (testing with Taylor test kit) but the water is very cloudy. I have been running the pump 24/7 and changing the filter, but it doesn’t seem to be getting better. Any advice or help on how to clear it would be appreciated.
