Cloudy water

[Clkelsay]

We've had some issues with our SWG producing chlorine... turns out it was time for a new chlorinator. Got that replaced. We're making chlorine now, but water is cloudy (as in, can't see the drains in the 6 1/2 ft deep end).
Here's what I've got:
Salt: 3800 (a little high still)
Free Chlorine: 30
Combined Chlorine: 1
pH: 7.4
TA: 60
CYA: 80

What am I missing??

Sounds to me like your FC probably dropped too low which resulted in algae. Run an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test tonight. Start reading up on the SLAM Process.

Can you confirm your FC and CC results? This may negate the oclt.

the failed chlorinator led to this but
your fc is way too high
you risk damaging your liner
allow fc to drop to around 31
and maintain around 31

Retested FC & CC. Same results. From what I’ve been told previously (here on TFPS) that this is where my FC should be. We did have algae, but we slammed and replaced chlorinated so that the SWG started producing chlorine itself. We’ve been algae free for over a week. The cloudiness has gotten better than it was, but it’s not gone.

I messed up, I multiplied by 10 when I should have multiplied by .5
Actual FC is 30
Actual CC is 1

Will update original post

Just realized I multiplied by the wrong number!
FC = 30
CC = 1

Part of the criteria for completing the SLAM process is clear water. Was it clear when you completed the SLAM? Sounds like you need to continue on with it.
