Testimonial to POP...numbers better everyday but still need help with cloudy water

[Watermom]

Keep the chlorine at shock level since you still are showing a CC of 1.0. I'd keep the cover at least partially open when shocking to vent the pool. Fumes can damage the cover.

Hardness is an issue when it is high; it can cause cloudy water problems especially when you also have high TA, but since you still have CC, for now, you have to assume that your cloudiness is from fighting something in the water.

By the way, there is no CYA in your tap water.

Thanks for the testimonial and kind words! We appreciate them.

OK will do. When you say to keep chlorine at shock level do you mean above 10 ...is there a specific number or range we should shoot for or specific amount to add to get there? Any benefit to super shocking like adding 4-5 gallons of bleach over a few hours...don't want it to kill my liner

For the first time last night the kids the water smelled like what they thought was chlorine and that it had a taste too. Is that to be expected? Before they swam the chlorine was 9...added 1.42 gal. Walmart bleach lastnight. Cover open all night, closed it today to prevent burnoff by the sun since we were gone. Chlorine tonight when we opened the cover was 11 and Ph was 7.8

Sorry...Combined chlorine tonight is still 1.0

Many thanks !
