Greetings--
I thought I had this @#$%^&* alge/cloudy problem beat... until...
32k Vinyl IG
Water temp 80+
"normal" chlorine level kept (4+) with 6% bleach
Pump runs 20 hrs a day in two cycles
Got up one morning-- cloudy!!!
Tested the water:
FC 3.6
TC 8.4
CC 4.8
PH 8
ALk 122
CYA 90
Added 1.25 qt acid
Added 5 bags of WipeOut shock (non-chlorine) I had out back
Brushed pool. Ran pump 24hr/day
Day two-
Lots of alge debris on bottom. Brushed twice.
Added 1.4gal 6% bleach
Air temp at 103 today
Day 3
Same but added 3/4 gal bleach
Still cloudy
Less debris on bottom
Day 4( Today)
STILL cloudy, although not quite as bad.
Added 3/4 gal bleach
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON CLEARING THIS UP ? Or does it just take 3-4+ days ?
Thanks--
