    Default Re: Pool Opening Problems.

    Numbers from 4-22
    FC = 8.0
    CC = 1.0-1.5 both measured with .5 drops
    pH = 7.0-7.1....might have dropped a hair. Need to get some mule team.
    TA = 90
    CYA not measured.
    CH not measured.

    Water still cloudy, filter still running 24-7.

    I read somewhere that my CH could be causing the cloudiness. Something about the "Saturation Index" or something like that.

    I have never measured the CH as being super high, most of my tests show it about 200, but I read that you can have false results. I have noticed that the colors change kinda funny.

    Any opinions on the CH causing me problems? I will measure again tonight. I have been using cal hypo with bleach to shock the pool, but I felt that since my CH numbers were not high I was OK. I am measuring CH about once a week.

    Water color is whitish blue. Just murky. I am strongly considering going back to DE, this sand filter just isn't doing a good job IMO.
