Cloudy Pool after a party

[onemsmom]

My pool (24 ft. round above ground) is cloudy today after a kids' (25) party yesterday - lots of swimming - plus, we've had TONS of rain lately as well. My chemical are still perfect (CYA - 45ish, "Good" Chlorine -5, "Bad" Chlorine - 0, ph 7.6, Alk 110). I really don't think there is an algae bloom - I've been soooooo careful. After reading over the hundred reasons why your pool might be cloudy page, I'm guessing it was overloaded with kids yesterday.

How to fix? I'm guessing I need to shock it? Take it up over 20 for just one night? Vacuum? Anything else? Just checking.

Thanks!

I wouldn't take it that high, more like 15ppm. Run your pump 24/7 while you are working to clear it.
