Cloudy Water

[dmc7028]

Have been searching posts but decided to ask. Pulled solar cover off yesterday and water is cloudy. We did have quite the storm this week. Trying to understand how to clear up. I thought you only SLAM if FC is 0?

FC 3.5
CYA 35
pH a little low 6.8

Do an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

OCLT passed. CC is 0. Still cloudy and green tint. Keep slamming? Or could it be an issue with my sand filter?

If Cloudy and Green, follow the SLAM process.

Did you brush really well before the OCLT?

Admittedly no. Just brushed very well about 2 hours ago. Will continue the SLAM. Wife is getting impatient and doesn’t understand why I don’t buy the $50 in chemicals the pool store recommends lol.
