Hello all,
Haven't posted in a while. Trying to help my neighbor out. He had a big get together over the weekend with 3 days of swimming with 25 people or so every day in a 17k gallon pool with 105 degree days each day. So needless to say his pool was VERY VERY cloudy. I went over yesterday and checked it has ZERO Chlorine, He also said he dropped his PH way too low 2 days ago to around 6.2 so we raised it with baking soda to 7.2. Then checked TA which is at 70. I add 1.5 gallons of liquid chlorine after PH got to 7.2. This morning checked again, Chlorine at 5ppm and PH @ 7.5. Spoke to neighbor and he mentioned that he put a bunch of conditioner in 2 days ago as well..... question is what can happen if TOO much conditioner is in the pool ? Can that cause cloudiness? I'm aware that if CYA is too high then draining water will need to happen. Water is cloudy still though there is a noticeable improvement. He did say he cleaned his filters a month and a half ago. What to check next? Thanks!
**Forgot to mention that this is a 17k gallon SALT Pool, cartridge filter, small waterfall, 6.5ft deep end.
