Thank you in advance for some guidance.

I followed TFP last year and everything went well. Pool has been open over a month now and I suddenly got cloudy water I can’t clear up.

11K gallon salt water pool with vinyl liner.

I turned up swg last night, I just turned it back down. Pump has been running almost 48 hours straight.

FC 5.0
CC 0.4
PH 7.4
TA 70
CH 80
CYA 55-60

Pool is 6’ deep, I can still see main drain covers, so it isn’t thick like milk, just cloudy.

Hopefully, I just need to give it more time.

PS I have the Taylor kit and I use the TFP app to track readings, suggest chemical adds.
 
Welcome to TFP

The SWG does not generate enough chlorine to kill an algae problem.

Have you done a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test to confirm you have an algae problem.

If you fail the OCLT then follow the SLAM Process
