Have an inground 20x40 pool. 4 ft shallow and 9 ft deep. I have 3 returns, 1 on each opposite corners of each other, one I middle by the skimmer. Also have floor skimmer in deep end.
Currently my deep end is foggy. Can see bottom in shallow end. Just took test strip. Reading as follows. Free chlorine is zero, ph is 7.8, total alkalinity is 120, and cyanuric acid is 70. I have sand filter. Any ideas on what to do next
 
Welcome to TFP! :wave: I suspect your cloudiness is the onset of algae. I would recommend you bookmark our Pool Care Basics and note the page about Recommend Test Kits. Test strips are simply horrible. You'll see why soon. We're happy to help with any questions. Enjoy the forum. :swim:
