Hi All,
Thank you for the Website. It's a tremendous resource.
I, too, am having a problem with cloudy water. It's the first time in 15 years, I've not been able to clear it.
I'm using the TF100 test kit, here's a serial of my readings since Friday afternoon.
The water is blue, no algae, but it is cloudy. I can see the top of the second step, but can't see my hand at elbow depth. I've tried using the shock levels on the Web site with a CYA of 90 and I can get to shock levels, however it drops quickly, the water remains cloudy and the CC's remain, along with the "chlorine" smell. Water temp is 90.
I'm using the TF100 test kit, here's a serial of my readings since Friday afternoon.
Here is the serial:
Friday 1 p.m.
FC -- 3
CC -- 2
TC -- 5
TA -- 120
CH -- 320
CYA -- 90
pH -- 7.2
Shocked using 379 ounces of 10.5 percent pool store chlorine as dictated by the calculator and tested again at 4 p.m.
FC -- 30
CC -- 1.5
Saturday 11 a.m.
FC -- 28
CC -- 1.5
CYA -- 90
pH -- 6.8
Shocked again trying to get/keep FC to 30 as recommended 256 ounces of 10.5 percent pool store chlorine and tested again at 4 p.m.
FC -- 30.5
CC -- 1.5
CYA -- 90
Sunday noon
FC -- 35.5
CC -- 1
Shocked again this time using two pounds of AquaChem Shock Extra Blue (out of liquid chlorine) it's Dichlor 63.05 percent
Monday noon
FC -- 27
CC -- 1.5
What do I do next? I've replaced the cartridge filter as well.
Thank you.
