Cloudy??

[vbertone]

Got some good numbers but seems a bit cloudy. Had a big pool party yesterday and raised the fc numbers up some in advance.

Fc-6.5
Ph- 7.6

Cc-0
Cya-40
Ta-50
Ch-200

Maybe it’s just my eyes but seems not as crystal as I have seen before.

Really hot days up here inNE.

Thanks

It looks pretty good from the pics, but if you're not sure, just raise the FC up to SLAM level (16) and hopefully that will clear it right up.

Thanks, I will do that tonight.

Congratulations Vinny! You have TFP-itus. A condition where us TFP owners become a bit OCD and obsessed with our water as we "know" what it should look like at all times. You have now entered a new dimension of pool care. Good luck! :joker:

It’s unreal, my kids think I’m crazy and my wife says I obsess too much. But I can’t stand any dirt in it and my level must be right. I’m always doing something with it. [emoji38]

Just wait until she sees you packing your test kit for a vacation. Public pool? I don't think so!

Assuming water temp 80F, your pool is in -0.4 CSI territory. Could that be causing cloudy water (plaster dissolving) ?

The plaster is only 4 years old. But I’m not sure what the negative csi even is or how you would fix it. But at any rate it clears up today after a good cleaning of the filters. I did notice though that my filters pressure shows higher than normal, 8-10 psi over, even after I cleaned the filters out.

CSI is basically an aggregate value calculated from your test numbers, describing the state of the overall water balance. You can read about it on the Pool School pages of this website: Pool School - Pool School

I noticed my pool was a bit dull but that was after running the robot and there was quite a bit of dirt in it.

I ran the sand filter all day saturday and sunday. It was sparkling crystal clear by late sunday.
