Recommendation for Chlorine Level

[Diamond_Pool]

Hi All,

I am a second year pool owner and I am looking to get some insight on what FC Levels I run in our pool.
I have a CYA at 50 and I have a noticed over last 2 years and when FC < 10, more around 6-8 range we start getting a white haze and eventually cloudy pool.
I have done SLAM multiples times and typically it passes in 1-2 days it becomes crystal clear.
Currently the pool is sitting at FC 10 and as per pool math FC should be between 2-8.
I know as per TFP for SWG I should have CYA around 70-80, I have intentionally kept it around 50-60 range as our pool stays covered most of the time.
Recommendations from other pool owners will be helpful.

p.s. in early June we went on vacation and I intentionally left pool at SLAM level for 2 weeks to prevent returning to cloudy pool

If you have indeed never fell below 6ppm Chlorine, then the possibility that you have the pool covered and unused too long could be the reason for the cloudiness. Try uncovering the pool more often and make sure the water gets moved around by actually swimming in it. Also, brushing is necessary as well.

Also be sure to inspect that cover really well. Other members have found mold/algae growing under the cover.

White haze and cloudy indicates algae.

Several members here, including myself, run hot. That is, at the upper end of the recommended FC levels.

Thank you. I will try to run around 8-10 and see if that causes any issues
