Hello from western mn. decided this year it was time to have a pool. Went budget this year just trying to get my feet wet (ha). I have a 5000gal pool. I filled it with water from the gravel pit and well water. It was super duper cloudy then I added (way too much) muratic acid to get it in order. Then sent my ph down. Obviously I guess. Been taking my own samples with bs menards strips and taking a sample to the pool store twice a week. I can't get rid of the cloud. From my inital readings the first thing I need is a real test kit. And that will be ordered in the morning. So far skimming the site I have learned a ton. [emoji16] any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
