Hello,
Lived in Az for 16 yrs. first 10 yrs had a pool with zero probs, just like described here, just check it keep it balanced and go. Moved 5years ago and new pool has been a pain in the you know what. I went on vacation and got algae. Never happened before, so went to local store. Long story short, I have 2yrs of algae, super shocking, algecides(3 different types), then clarifies. Now algae seems to be gone, but every time I shock each week I get cloudy water for 3-4days. And if I have kids in pool for even an hr it gets yellowish and cloudy, so I shock again and then cloudy for days. I have stopped adding clarifier because it seems like an addiction more than help, but not sure what to do...considering draining and re filling or replacing sand. Any ideas on what to try next?
