    Default Re: Cloudy pool that wont hold Chlorine.

    *UPDATE* ok I have been keeping the Chlorine @15ppm for the last 2 days and 3 nights, checking every night at dark then checking again when I wake up. Last night I only lost 1ppm. I would assume that what ever was eating up all the chlorine might be gone now and I can start letting the chlorine go back down to normal, correct? Here is my new readings:
    FC = 14
    CC = .5
    PH = 7.2
    TA = 70
    CH = 270
    During all this the CH did go up some. How would I lower it? I have been told I do not need any CH and that it may be the cause that my pool is still white cloudy.
    I have a fountain on the return right now trying to cool the pool off and I would assume that would also raise the PH. Once the PH is 7.4 I plan to raise the TA a little.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Brian;

    Don't worry about the calcium - it may have been the problem, if you were adding cal hypo, but unless you are planning to STILL add it, it's not an issue now. Run your fountain, and keep your pH down, and the calcium will NOT be an issue.

    What sort of filter do you have?
