New to tfp. First off I’ve had many pools living in Az and every one acted different. I never really got as involved as you all have made me(thank you). Heck I even had a job doing pool service when I was 19 and that’s exactly why I don’t want someone coming to take care of MY pool! Fast forward to my current pool. I have lived in this house for 6years and have never had a problem. Reason being that the entire 100% of the water was shaded all the time. (No joke I think I’m the only one that had to run my heater in the middle of our 110+ summers). We’ll did some backyard updating and decided to get rid of the shade. We will put up some smaller removable sails soon. But nothing like before.
This is before tfp.
So with the backyard updating we had the pool acid washed and the sand changed out as well. Upon completion and getting the new water filled and what not it’s been about 1.5 months. At first it seemed fine, then started getting cloudy with a fine dust whiteish in pool and brownish in spa even though they run on the same system. After checking everything- test from the pool store - add this add that- I decided to check my laterals and sure enough the guy that did it didnt get 3 of the laterals folded into the down position. So I did that and added 2 more bags of sand. He said he put in 500 and if true I probably lost 20lbs when removing and added the 2 bags so I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of 560-580# sand. Pump psi is around 15-16 the same as before doing any of this. I’d let the pool run without the vacuum and it would start clearing up. Run the vacuum and it started getting cloudy. Look to be just flipping up the stuff that settled to the bottom. After about 5 days the cloudy mess seems to have been filter out pretty good, thought I would need to vacuum to waste or try de. My readings from my first test are as follows
Test kit: k-2006c
FC: 6
CC:0
PH:7.4

CH:260
Pool is clearing up but still has a light greenish blue tint.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think I have my signature set up right.
And no I am not using anymore Chloe tabs(maybe on vacation) the floaters are empty and will be coming out.
Thanks
