White Cloudy Water - Twighlight Zone

[duraleigh]

I don't believe the AA will have any affect on your CYA level. Actually, I would disregard CYA 'til you get the rest of your issues resolved and then adjust accordingly.

My concern for the CYA was to make sure that I know how High I need to bring my Chlorine level so I can try to avoid the 'White Cloud'

The water is actually starting to look pretty good. Vitamin C is some pretty cool stuff. I'm going to start drinking more OJ, perhaps with a little Vodka if this pool ever gets under control...

Thanks for your posts.

Water is crystal clear.

Stats:

FC: 2-3
PH: 7.0

Added 8(+-) quarts of bleach to the pool to bring it to shock level based on Ben's best guess. I expect to keep adding Chlorine due to the AA treatment earlier. I will get it to shock and maintain overnight.

Water is still crystal clear.

FC - 15 (Shock level)
PH - 6.8

Added about 12oz of Borax to get this up to 7.2

So far......So good BUT: It is beginning to Rain....I can't win...The pool gods hate me. It must be pay-back for all the "urinating in the pool" I did when I was a kid.

You have gotten some good advice in this thread and appear to be well on your way to keeping it clear for good. This thread is getting pretty long - up to 53 posts I believe. Since I think you have probably gotten the info you need, I'm going to go ahead and lock this one as it is getting a little unmanageable. Congrats on the good work!

PS - Raining here too!

OK.

I thought there might be some benifet to see if the Cloudy Problem re-occurs before closing it out.

Some of the last posts were to drain and begin again.

Your call!
