Cloudy Please help

Can you test your CYA with a home testkit?

Your chlorine is burning off with no CYA.

I didn't phrase my question well. Sorry. What testkit are you using? It says 2000.
Anyway, I would add about 4 lbs. of CYA. See where you are in a couple of days. If you think you may need to backwash within the next 48 hours, do that first.

Taylor k- 2006 , I will get the CA in the morning , thanks. So no more shock for now?

Was your CYA test solution cloudy at all? Let us know.

If it was, just add 3#. And no, don't add more chlorine until you drop down to 3ish until you get the CYA in there.

Also, don't waste any more money on algaecide. You only need it when you close your pool for the winter.

The cya test was not cloudy at all, thank you!

Okay. Then that means your CYA is close to zero. Add the 4#. How is your FC now?
