First problem of the season - cloudy water

[Jacob99]

It's been about 48 hours now. Water looks great already. Back to normal looking. I lost some chlorine during the day because it was a hot one. I had my mother and my wife each put in 32 oz during the day just so I wouldn't come home to 4ppm like I did the night before. Just checked and it's at 9ppm. Will bring it back up to 15 for the night. Overnight there hasn't been much of a chlorine loss though. Last night I had no loss, and the night before I had a 0.5 loss. Losing more than normal during the day though. It has been sunny and hot. Maybe I need to up my CYA a little. Should I continue to keep it at shock level for a couple more days? I know you mentioned 3 days is aggressive. Tomorrow is day 3, but seeing the water today has be hopeful.

I'm so glad I have this place instead of getting "pool stored". I'm sure they would've loved to sell me algaecides, and clarifiers, and all kinds of other fun stuff. BBB for life! LoL

FC: 9
CC: 1
pH: 7.3
TA: 80
CYA: 30-35

If you still have a CC greater than 0.5, you need to continue shocking. I also think you might do better to bump your CYA up to 40-50. It would help slow the daytime chlorine loss.

Okay, latest results are in. I tested this morning and again just now. This morning my CC was 0.4 with no chlorine loss. Tonight my CC is at 0 or maybe there's a tiny hint of pink so we'll call it 0.2 to be conservative. Water is lovely. I've brought it to shock level again for the night and will re-test in the morning to make sure there's no chlorine loss or CC. This is night 4. I would say all systems are a go for this weekend!

Good job!
