Cloudy Water
I have pH a little low. chlorine is above 10ppm. cya was ok before pouring in bleach. water has been light bluish and cloudy for 2 or 3 weeks. I finally got chlorine to stay up more than a day. Have vacuumed and flocked and vacuumed (blindly). Water still not clear. Do I need Fiber clear. Clarifier didn't work. Floc worked some. Sand only 2 yrs old. I have A 24x4 round above ground pool. Hayward power-Flo matrix pump, S180T sand filter. Have owned this system for 9 years. Never had cloudy water. New liner added 2 years ago. I have used strips for years. i will get a Taylor kit as soon as wallet bounces back from so many wasted pool store chemicals. have used almost a box of borax and 12 pounds of backing soda to get ph back up. it was way high while trying to get cya an chlorine up. them pH down dropped it too much. I think i had bacteria eating the cya as I read in a post here. Do I need more floc? Clarifier? I did also add metal eliminator when water was light green. I thought algeacide put too much copper in? I am gonna lose my wife or my sanity soon.
