Cloudy salt water pool after adding baking soda

[justinsmom719]

Ok. I ran the filter overnight and added household bleach and the cloudy has gotten better so that I can see the pattern on the floor of the liner slightly. Still a bit to go.

Readings are
FC. So yellow I can't match it to a reading.
pH 7.2
TA 120
TH 200
Cya 30

Great!

Is the high chlorine because of the bleach?
I was able to order a couple of the Filbur cartridges.
Should I add even more bleach or just give it more time?

+ Bleach raises your chlorine.

+ Cloudy green needs more chlorine; cloudy blue or gray needs more filtering.

+ Regardless, run your filter as much as possible, preferably 24/7

Thank You.
I was going to purchase the sand filter this year. I hope it works better since we just upgraded the pool size for next year now and I found out that is what comes with the 18' we ordered.
You have brought me peace of mind. I was heartbroken and lost.

Glad we could help.
