Cloudy Water

[seminolewind]

I opened my pool to a cloudy mess, got it crystal clear. Then we hooked up our heater via outdoor furnace. My water is clear but a cloudy cast, I can still clearly see the pool bottom but it isn't sparkling. :( My numbers are:

FC 4.5
CC 0
TC 4.5
PH 7.6
ALK 110
Calcium 0 < this is what stumps me >
I keep dumping bleach thinking there just has to be something causing the cloudy cast, but my numbers aren't showing me that (Leslie drop kit). Any suggestions? Maybe a clarifier (I don't LIKE to use them but I will if need be.) Thanks in advance.

You didn't give a CYA reading--perhaps you aren't getting up to shock levels?

Boy do I feel stupid! My CYA was a whole 18 :eek: That has got to be my problem. Thanks Janet.

I am still learning, but a CYA of 18 does no sound like a problem. Are you sure the Calcium is 0? What do you use to shock?
