Opened the pool a few weeks ago. Slammed and scrubbed thoroughly. Successfully passed the OCLT test multiple days in a row at SLAM levels. Scrubbed again.
Balanced all chemicals and brought the FC to normal levels.
The water continues to be hazy after a week of 24/7 pump running. I performed another OCLT with normal chlorine levels and passed.
In rereading the OCLT documentation, it states that you only pass successfully if the water is crystal clear. However, my chlorine is not dropping and my CC is zero.
The only thing I can think of is that we have a decent amount of Cottonwood’s in our neighborhood? FWIW I use skimmer socks.
Could a low TA cause this?
Do I just need to continue to be patient? I don’t recall this being issue in past years, however, this is only my second summer with this new pump and filter. I’m hesitant to SLAM again because I don’t want to spend the money on chlorine if that’s not the problem.

Must not have hit save. Long story short, I have a cartridge filter now: Pentair Clean&Clear+ (CCP420; Cartridge). I’ve only ever had a sand filter before this, so that’s part of why I’m puzzled.
