Hello - first time pool owner and going grey trying to get my pool right.
I have had cloudy pool water the past two weeks. Tried shocking, super shocking, clarifier, Algaecide 60 (had some small mustard algae I think). Anyways my test results from today are below. I did just change the sand in my sand filter. I have an inground pool / 18x36, 4ft shallow end and 9 ft deepend / Sand filter / single speed pump. Circulation seems good, no air bubbles in pump and I have a heater.
I shocked it with TurboShock (6 lbs) and Algaecide 60 (whole bottle) two days ago. Was that a mistake, hadn't shocked it in over 3 weeks prior. Wanted to kill what little algae I had.
FAC - 2.45
Total Chlor - 2.71
pH -7.8 (just dropped some 31% Muriatic acid in as recommended)
Alkalinity - 100
Calcium Hardness - 316
CYA - 52
Copper - 0.3
Iron - 0
Phosphates - 104
I'm going to run the pump for 48 hrs to see if it will clear the water. I use non-stabilized chlorine tablets in the skimmer baskets because my CYA was over 100 and the 3" sanitized tablets were increasing my CYA.
What am I missing????
