Hello, well I have drained 1/2 of my pool water two times now, once on Monday and refilled, the water was more milky-white than before I drained it. The water in my area is known to be hard water but is very highly chlorinated according to the water company and they say the amount of hardness in my regular water should not cause this milky-white condition.

So today I drained 1/2 of the water again. I have not refilled it yet. Here are my water test results this evening (only half the water is in the pool-Intex metal frame 24 foot round, normal volume 12000 gallons) I tested with 2 different test kits:
TH=1000
FC=10
PH=8.4
TA=120
CYA=30-50

I do have a water softener in my home that I can run the water through when I refill it for the second time. However the water softener people do that recommend that. The first time I filled it-I bypassed the water softener and the water was crystal clear for over 1 month-then last week when I put the chlorine granules and borax in it, the water became milky white and I can't seem to get it back to clear. It is still very milky-white.

What do I do next?
Should I run refill water through the water softener?
Any thing I can add to get rid of the hardness? I have heard that people use TSP? Should I try that? Should I just leave it alone and hope it clears up?
I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks so much!
