    Default Re: Nitrates in pool

    OK--I shocked the pool last night with 11lbs of Power Powder Plus (65% cal hypo), this morning the pool is cloudy and there is white "dust" on the bottom of the pool. The FC is >8ppm and of course the pH is high at 8. I don't have any other readings at this time but I am concerned about the cloudy water and dust--what should I do, is this normal?
