Hi all,
A new pool owner here and I'm pretty new to this site. I've decided to start maintaining my own pool vs hiring someone else.
I've read a lot of great and useful information from the site, and I like to learn more!
My goal is to have a Trouble Free Pool! which unfortunately are not happening right now.
Any recommendation or insight from you guys would be beneficial for me and appreciated!
So I noticed some algae in the pool in the last few days and water a little greenish, so I shock the pool last night with 'Leslie's Power Powder Granular'
Ever since the shock, my pool is blue but now very cloudy. So I ran the filter longer (about 8 hours yesterday) and another 8 hours today. And still cloudy.
Today my pool test came out:
FC - 5
TC - 5
pH - 8
TA - 80
CH - 320
CYA - 0
My Pool store recommendations are: to add Muriatic acid, add Chlorine Neutralizer and add conditioner. And also told me to use 'Leslie's Ultra Bright Water Clarifier' to remove the cloudiness.
From what I've learned in the past, my pool store is always recommending me unnecessary stuff.
I think I should add Muriatic acid to lower the pH and then add cyanuric acid to increase the CYA?
I'm guessing that the cloudiness will 'eventually' disappear?
What do you guys think?
