Hey ya'll, this is a new one for me. I left my pool open all winter and it was crystal clear. I ran my robot every 3 days except for when the temperature was below 60. I also ran my skimmer (SkimDevil) daily. On top of this, I ran my pool pump for 6 hours a day on around 2200 RPM.
I left for a weeklong trip and returned on the 23rd to a cloudy pool. I live in GA and have had at least 1 inch of rain a day...more to come. I am running my pool pump at 3200 RPM for 8 hours a day and I am running the robot after the pump stops around 8pm. I cannot for the life of me get my pool to clear up and every morning when I brush before the pump starts, sediment or a cloud of brown appears and then disappears into the water.
I added diatomaceous earth to the filter yesterday and that was my 'test' to see if the brown cloud was algae...it was supposed to kill it from what I read and it didn't since it was there again this morning.
Any suggestions?
My chemical levels are:
Salt - 3000
FC - 4.5
CC - 0.5
TC - 5
PH - 7.8
CYA - 50
TA - 80
CH - 75
Thanks for any pointers or suggestions!
