We bought a 18' x 48" Intex above ground pool, 5,455 gallons. We filled it up last week and have been using the Clorox Pool & Spa products. We've been following the instructions but our water is still cloudy and the pH and alkalinity levels are off. We've also shocked the pool a couple times. We did a little research and learned that Borax can be used to raise the pH. Using the pool calculator we added 4 boxes. From our research we know that we will need to add some muriatic acid. We waited a little and checked our numbers again and they are:
Total Hardness - 110
Total Chlorine - 10
Free Chlorine - 10
pH - 7.8
Total Alkalinity - 240
Stablizer - 50
Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do to clear our water and get our numbers balanced? Thank you in advance.
