Cloudy water

[Dakota76]

My water is starting to get cloudy with out
any real changes on my part. We did go on vacation and had to leave 1 puck with the hopes of not losing pool while we were away.

MY test results as of now: Fc-3, cl-3 cc-0 PH-7.5 TA 110-
C YA-90.. JUST CURIOUS WHAT I SHOULD DO?

Well, its kinda apparent that your FC is too low for that 90 CYA.

I'd say you have a SLAM in your immediate future. I'd take your pH down to 7.2 and start as soon as possible, and you might find it a fast response.

Here are the directions: SLAM Process

Holler if you have other questions

Your FC is much too low for your CYA level. You're at the start of an algae bloom. You need to SLAM the pool. You may also want to partially drain it to lower your CYA level to 50 ppm or less.

Have you been following TFP guidelines for CYA/Chlorine ratio? Pool School - Chlorine / CYA Chart

Nice to meet you via TFP

I would raise FC to 10 ppm right away and go forward with a bare minimum and target from this chart: [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA]
Raise the FC with chlorinating liquid or plain bleach. You can use PoolMath to enter the % you buy. No more pucks for this year! CYA is high.

You should double-check your CYA with a dilution test per point no. 8 in this link: Pool School - CYA
