SWG / ZeoBrite start-up

[Pool_Mike]

Well yesterday was the day.

-I was not there, but the PB's finally turnerd on the pump, filter and added salt to our pool

-For the previous 3-days before the start-up, our pool was clear.

-Now since the start-up and 600lbs of salt added to our POOL. It is cloudy water. For 15 hours w/ pump on; the water is still cloudy/ green.


- I checked the SWG setting and it is at 80% @ 2800 PPM (is factory setting from the sticker I saw).
Our pool is ruffly 20,000-22,000 gallons of water.

Any idea why its so cloudy still?

Could it be b/c the PPM is set to low?

Thanks

Little sad and it is friday, and probably cannot got swimming this weekend.

Test results would give some good clues.......without them, it's wild guessing.

Ok...since last Thursday (new pool and startup of all equipment) and even now. Pump on 24/7, water is still cloudy.

I decided to go to warehouse pool supply and get the water test done.

So they ran the test.

Here are the results:

total chlorine: 6.0 ppm

pH: 9.0

Hardness: 100 ppm

alkalinity 150 ppm

cyanuric acid: 10 ppm

total dissolved solids: 1400 ppm

~~~ end of test results they gave me ~~~~
========================

So, the guys at pool warehouse sold me: Muriatic acid & Naural chemistry Clarifier.


They said all I need is this to get the pool clear.
======================

So, as of today, my SWG is at 3200ppm @ 70 (setting); Filteration is "on".

I have all valves on: High and Low side outs on, main drain and suction. The filteration is on.


So by adding:4 pt/ 6 oz of muriatic acid and little bit of the Naural chemistry Clarifier, should my pool get clear in about 6hrs.

Last, but hope not a dumb question, but by putting in Muratic acid in my vinyl liner pool it is ok, right? Also where should I add the muratic acid at? By skimmer area?? Thanks 4 any input before I mess something up.
