    Default Re: Cloudy after shocking

    The pool is concrete. I don't know exactly what my cl levels are at becasue my test kit only goes up to 5ppm and the cl level is above that after shocking(I know it had to be zero before I shocked it). My ph is high at 8.0 and I don't even want to get into my ta level...140. The pool only turned cloudy after shocking. I know my calcium levels are high and that is why I am doing a 1/2 water exchange next weekend so I didn't bother to check it today. Also my pressure has gone up 5 psi on my filter since shocking and that is what is making me think I have a lot of dead stuff in the pool. It just really freaked me out that the pool clouded instantly after shocking, I have always kind of ignored it during the colder months here but it has never done this before. I will take a water sample in tomorrow and get the whole range of testing done on it...I just hate doing it becasue of all the stuff they try to sell you.

    I have done the BBB method before but being that I am gone alot during the week it makes it really hard for me to adjust daily and that is why I float cl
