Hi All,
Our new salt water fiber glass pool (12k gallons) was installed couple of weeks ago. We have Hayward VSP(SP23520VSP), T3 cell and Sand filter(S244T2).
Pool size 31x14, 3.5' to 6' deep.
Last week pool guy came and finished filter connection etc.
He put few bags of salt and ran super clorinator for 24 hours. Filter scheduled to run 12 hour/day. He did not do any test on the water for PH/CL etc before adding salt.
Salt reading next day after 24 hours was 4400 ppm. Water was cloudy.
I called him next and he said it is normal and told me that it will clear up after few days.
Waited for couple of days, water was still cloudy, I could only see bottom at shollow end of the pool. Salt reading at 4300. PH 7.6, FC between 1 and 2.
I diluted the pool few times (ran backwash/rinse/filter and add fresh water) over next 2 days to bring salt reading to 3700.
PH 7.6, FC between 1 and 2.
Ordered "TAYLOR TECHNOLOGIES INC K-2006",Poolmaster 22260 5-Way" and "AquaChek 551236 7-Way 100 Count Pool Water Test Strips" for rest of the chemicals reading.
Last night, I shocked the pool using 1 lb of "Calcium Hypochlorite Super Chlorine Shock" in 5 gallons of water.
This morning, water is still cloudy. Still I can only see bottom at shollow end of pool.
I backwash/rise the pool and put 2 oz of "Robarb R20154 Super Blue Clarifier" (mixed in 4 gallon of water) and started filter.
Please advise.
