Cloudy Water

[cav]

Hello,

I have a moderatly cloudy pool. The shallow end looks clear & in the deep end you can still see the drain.

This happend beacuse my filter(DE) needed to be cleaned, which I did.

Vinyl Pool 30gl pool

CYA 40-50
TC 5-6
PH 7.4ish

I plan to bring up the TC overnight to clear the pool. Yet my long winded question is should I let a few kids swim in the pool while it is a bit cloudy??

Thanks

This is probably a late answer, but I'd say that if the cloudiness is due to beginnings of an algae or other bacterial bloom, then no, I wouldn't let my kids swim in it. If it's because you cleaned your filter and had a little DE blow back into the water, then it's your call. If you do decide to let them swim, I'd definitely make sure the pool isn't so cloudy that you can't see them when they're under water in the deep end.

Thanks Janet

I cleared up my cloud in two days & left the kids out while I did it just to be safe.

Thanks Again for the reply
