Super Cloudy pool

[Ruger243]

i did not close my pool properly last year. Didn't do anything to it. We opened to a green leaf filled swamp 2 weeks ago.

I have SLAM’d and my water is fairly balanced. But the water is super cloudy. The walls feel chalky, i think this is the reason why. I have noticed a residue on top of the water. I have brushed and vacuumed with no noticeable change. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?

How are you testing your water? Can you post a full set of results?

Follow the slam process. Link-->SLAM Process

Follow the process, then you can post here...Link-->How Clear is TFP Clear?

Using a TF-100 kit.

I have been using the TFP method for about 4 years. With great results, until last fall, and we didn’t get the pool closed properly.

I did call a local pool store. They said the chalky feel could be calcium that has came out of suspension in the water. I am on well water. They told me the solution to that is keeping the PH on the lower side, this would soften the calcium, and to brush with elbow grease.

Follow the SLAM process and you will clear your pool!

How long would you expect this to take? I have not let the kids swim, can’t see the bottom, yet.

That is a big AGP. You never know how long, could be days, could be a couple weeks (to fully clear).

You can swim when FC is above min up to and including slam level...if you can see the bottom.
