Hi all, just discovered this forum and need some guidance.
Opened pool Sunday and for first time ever water was green and very dirty.
Brought to store for testing and got these numbers:
FC .1
TC .43
CC .33
Ph 8.2
CYA 2
Salt 2500 (my screen showed 3200)
Since bringing to pool store for testing I've put in:
5 gallons of chlorine
25 pounds of hardness booster
1 pt 1.5 qts Muriatic acid
10 lbs stabilizer
2 bags of salt
Water is still cloudy but not green
My salt generator was off. When I turned it on to 50% this morning, water turned milky white and I turned it back off. Why did it do that?
Today I will go buy a testing kit based on what I've read here.
Questions:
Why did water starting turning "white" when I turned on salt chlorinated?
What else am I doing wrong?
Have had this pool for 14 years and installed SWG 4 years ago. Never had water look like this. Thanks for your comments.
