I'm usually good at this stuff......

d it go so fast 15 this morning.

I don't know what that means.

If cloudiness is from organics, probably a few days to clear. If from high pH, probably faster. Keep running the pump.

Go swimming now. 15ppm is harmless.

I don't know what that means either. I was posting something, I needed to edit it and forgot to delete that part- thanks for the help. We'll see how it goes

One more thing- I've been reading about CYA levels and how it acts as sunscreen for your chlorine. Temps here in TN have been mid 90's- I also have full sun all day, Should I raise my CYA higher for better protection?

Should I raise my CYA higher for better protection?

That's a tough call. I have raised mine from 30 up to 50 and I believe I am holding chlorine better (too early to tell).

If you are losing much more than 3ppm daily I would consider it. Remember, it's very difficult to go back and VERY high (80+ or so) tends to "mask" the effectiveness of chlorine.

If you go to 60ppm, you'll need to keep your Cl level up around 5-8ppm for it to be effective. Search "best guess" table on the forum for more info.

Ok- Tested ph today 8.0+- my TA is now at 70 where it was 110 3 days ago. I have been adding acid, ph - etc. Is this causing my TA to drop? Cl levels were still around 15, so that's working. I lowered my jets to not disturb the water so much (this areation could be hurting TA??) Again, the endless circle of raise both PH and TA and then lower with acid. I added 1/2 gallon today per the calculator.

I'm about to explode. I have attached a pic of the pool water- You can see, I can make out the drains and the liner design, just not the clear sparkle I'm used to.
