    Default Still cloudy--

    Greetings--

    I thought I had this @#$%^&* alge/cloudy problem beat... until...

    32k Vinyl IG
    Water temp 80+
    "normal" chlorine level kept (4+) with 6% bleach
    Pump runs 20 hrs a day in two cycles

    Got up one morning-- cloudy!!!

    Tested the water:
    FC 3.6
    TC 8.4
    CC 4.8
    PH 8
    ALk 122
    CYA 90

    Added 1.25 qt acid
    Added 5 bags of WipeOut shock (non-chlorine) I had out back
    Brushed pool. Ran pump 24hr/day

    Day two-
    Lots of alge debris on bottom. Brushed twice.
    Added 1.4gal 6% bleach
    Air temp at 103 today

    Day 3
    Same but added 3/4 gal bleach
    Still cloudy
    Less debris on bottom
    Day 4( Today)
    STILL cloudy, although not quite as bad.
    Added 3/4 gal bleach

    ANY SUGGESTIONS ON CLEARING THIS UP ? Or does it just take 3-4+ days ?

    Thanks--

    Wow! That looks like a pool store test and I would question it. Your own good kit will serve you far better....save you time and money.

    That said, IF your test is correct, you should've put 11 gallons of bleach in your pool (all at once) to shock it.

    You've got several issues but I'm not comfortable suggesting anything without current, accurate test results.
