Bought a house that came with a neglected above ground pool (no idea how long). We purchased a new sand filter, cleaned out debris, shocked and got it to cloudy blue over the course of about a week. It has now been cloudy for over a month & 1/2 and we can not get it clear. Since the original shocking, we have tried algaecide, flocc to waste, clarifier, 3 more shock treatments, raised ph (not all at the same time) and nothing has helped. Finally found this forum, bought a TF-100 test kit. Last night the results were:
PH -7.2
TA -150
CYA -45
CH -200
FC-5
CC-1
TC-6
Did the overnight loss test and this morning readings are:
FC-2
CC-1
Is it ok the start the SLAM process or do I need to lower TA and CH first? Please advise, we just want to be able to finally use our pool!
