Very Interesting Problem

I do not recall seeing high CYA values and cloudy water being closely related on this forum. Not saying they are not, I simply don't recall it.

I DO frequently see cloudy water and CC associated, however.

no, but if CYA levels are high and FC is not high enough for the CYA then the FC that is there will form CC. Remember, the 'accepted' range for FC is 1 to 3 ppm. If the CYa is at 90 or higher ppm that just isn't enough FC in the water.

This "best guess CYA chart seems to be a handy chart. Trouble with high CYA seems to be that it demands higher minimum chlorine levels be maintained to sanitize the water.
