having a problem with my pool this past few weeks.
I have been running intex pools for aprox 8 years now Going up in size over the years and last year I got the newest at 16' x 48" with 1500gph filter/pump.
I have not much of any problems until now.
2 weeks ago the pool started with that little cloud showing up behind the brush. Wife and I have been checking FC and PH every day and the Ortex Tabs have been keeping the FC on the money all summer. Which is why im stumped by the Algae bloom. So I shocked the pool and cleaned the filter 2 times a day. All seemed well. Then It went cloudy milky white. Been fighting the cloudy white for 5 days now
applied the Pool Mate brand 4-1 Treatment for cloudy water--waited the 72 hours and not much change until today. Still cloudy but it appears my algae bloom is back. Seeing the build up on the pool floor and filter again.
My chemicals seem to be ok...
FC 5
TC 5
alkalinity 120
ph 7.2
TH 100
CYA 40
what am I missing
I added a secound 1000gph filter from the old intex pool to try and help. ?
