Need some help: Blue-Green Cloudy Water

[CelticDaddio]

Two days (or so with) FC = 25. I didn't think I was seeing much difference until I look at previous pictures and new pictures:





Still cloudy but getting bluer....

Water finally starting to clear. At what chlorine level can we get back to swimming? I have seen sevaral products whose instructions say DO NOT swim until chlorine level is 5 ppm or lower. If I need to keep my FC 5-10 all the time, these products must be wrong.... right?

Go to my thread in the china shop http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=3920 There is a lot of information there but you can draw your own conclusions from there.

I was wondering the same!


In the last couple of days......... and still counting, that my pool is starting to look like yours.

I am sure its all the rain were getting here in Central Texas. I was really worried, why, why, why my pool was looking / turning green. To find out, this pool will need to be shocked!!

I just don't really want to shock it yet. Suppose to be all week/weekend were getting at least 50% rain per day. So all I have really been doing is backwash to drain my pool from over-flowing.

I am sure due to all the rain, that is why my pool is starting to turn green. For almost a year owning the pool, this is the 1st time I ever seen my pool look the way it is.
