another cloudy water ?

[oregon250exc]

The shock is Cal hypo 68%. I will find out the ingredients for the non chlorine shock.

The cal-hypo may be contributing to the cloudy water problem. I'd stick with either bleach or liquid chlorine.

Ok i will beable to have a free time to dose the pool. How long should i keep the pool at 10ppm of chlorine? i will have from 6pm on sunday to tuesday at 6am where the pool will not be used. is that enough time for the chlorine to hit 10 and then come back down to acceptable levels to use.? or should i use the stuff to get the chlorine levels down? thanks for your help.

You need to keep the pool at 10 ppm of chlorine until 1)the water is clear, 2) the CC is zero, AND 3) you don't lose any chlorine when testing at sundown and again at sunup. Then you can let it drift back down to the 1-3 range.

How long this process takes depends on how consistent you are about maintaining that 10 ppm--the more frequently you test and add more to get back up to 10, the faster the pool will clear.

Keep an eye on your filter pressure and have the filter running 24/7 during this process--you may find that you have to clean the filter more often as the dead algae is removed.
