I have a 17x31 Grecian vinyl inground pool. I holds arond 17500 gallons. We this year converted from using Baquacil to Chlorine. I can not keep the chlorine levels up. We are using the pucks in our auto-chlorinator (it "eats" about 3 pucks a week) and 10% liquid chlorine. We are also using an algeside weekly. The pool has been crystal clear since it first cleared up at opening, but the temps have been mild (started in the 70's, in 80's or low 90's most of the time). It is getting a bit cloudy and I notice what looks like "dust in the light" when I have my light on at night.
I have moved the hose on my auto-chlorinator from bottom to top to try to get more water over the pucks.
Early this week we had 0.03 reading on chlorine, so we super shocked it with 4 gallons of 10% liq. Chlorine. The Free Chlorine was reading 5 the next day, but back to 0.01 the following.
Last night at dusk, I put in 2 gallons and the FC reading was all the way back down to 1.3 this morning, I fully expect it to be at 0.X tomorrow.
I am worried with the temp going to be above 100 this week, I am going lose what little contol I have and have a cloudy or worse pool soon.
We live in a farm town, so lots of crops around us and our pool gets no shade.
Any ideas???
