My name is Pete and I am new to swimming pools and also looking at cloudy water. I had a green mess after a heavy rain storm and the pool store shock and algaecide did absolutely nothing. I found your site and did my best without a test kit and using pool store tests to shock the pool with liquid chlorine. I managed to do ok and the pool is no longer green but it is cloudy. So I ordered a test kit and took a few readings to see how the water looked. Its been a couple weeks since the attempted SLAM (I call it that since I did not have a proper test kit yet) and the most recent water test results are below.
The most recent readings are:
FC - 2 (I added chlorine and brought it up to 7, tested the next day)
CC - 1
TC - 3
PH - 7.5
TA - 90
CH - 225
CYA - 40
I am assuming that I should bring the FC up for a longer period of time to help clear the water?
