Okay looking for anyone's advice that may have had the same issue when raising their pH levels?
I added a 6 lb bag of pH up which is basically soda ash and one carton of baking soda which was another pound to get my pH up to the desired level based on the pool math calculations.
Our pool turned completely cloudy for three days and then we noticed the dust finally settle on the bottom. So I went out and I brushed the entire pool and it is now cloudy again. After brushing it again I backwashed the sand filter and put it on overnight so hopefully it can filter a lot of it out. But thinking if I don't see any major improvements I will just run the robot with the fine filters to hopefully pick up the leftover debris?
My guess is it's calcium that reacted with the soda ash and not just the pH up but I'm not sure? Looking for any experts opinions on if this has happened to you before and how you cleared the pool up, and / or if I should avoid vacuuming until I can get whatever the powder is to dissolve.
Thanks!
