cloudy darkish water

[BigDave]

... my water is still cloudy not green, but darkish green ...

Would you please clarify the look of the water?

TA and CH are fine. I would avoid the temptation to floc.

We'll need the CYA level to know if FC is OK. Which Taylor kit are you using? We recommend the K-2006 or K-2006C - you can't get it in a store but you can find it through this page: http://pool9.net/tk/.

Tell us more about the pool: Number and type of drains and returns, size and type of filter and pump. How you chlorinate. List everything you've put in the pool for the last month or two: chemical names not "shock".

Pool size about 24k galons. Filter is sand sta rite. Pump is a sta rite. I been chlorinating with super chlo (67% calcium hypochlorite) . I threw in 5 pounds of ...sodium bicarbonate last week but it was to raise TA from 60 to what is now at 80. The cya reading is between 45 and 50. Temperature in this area is around mid 90's. The tYlor kit is the k2006. The look of the water is ..I guess plain green though no signs of algae. Thanks. Oh, I been running filter and vacuum 24/7 since last night but can only run one or the other since only have one skimmer. I do have a drain but I mainly use skimmer. I will set pump to draw from drain and skimmer see if it helps.
