Calcium turned pool like skim milk

[Jacqueline]

Thank you. I am willing to give the filter time, but it has been running since this past Monday w the same issue and looks exactly the same.

I will pick up a drops test kit today. I'll run up to walmart.

A comment and a question:

1. If you'd like your pool clear sooner rather than later, you should drain and refill. I'm not sure what AG pool you have, but most come with over-sized pumps and under-sized filters that have a hard time clearing a cloudy pool. This is particularly true with sand filters, because the pump actually drives the dirt THROUGH the sand.

2. Was it a BioGuard pool store that told you to add calcium? (This is just for our information; from what we can tell, Bioguard stores using the 'ALEX' system are particularly likely to cause the problem you had.

I am thinking I need to re-start as well.

The store is called International Pool and Spa in Oshawa Ontario. I am very very disappointed.

Thanks for your info.

Regarding International Pool, etc -- it turns out they are a Recreational Warehouse affiliate or subsidiary or parent, but apparently not a BioGuard affiliate. It's helpful for us to know that Rec Warehouse is flogging calcium in vinyl pools, though.

Thanks, and good luck!
