Sky Blue water - cloudy going on 4 weeks

[LP Heaven]

The pool is clearing by the minute !!! words cannot describe how much I thank you !

The PH is still a little low so i'm still working on that, but the CC/TC levels look great and held over night even after the storm dropped about 2".

Major storm caused havoc here last night(loss of power for 8 hours) so i'll be cleaning most of today.

I can see the shallow end perfectly and all walls in the deep to about 4-5'

Just added more 20 Mule and will test in a few hours !

Kiddies were in all day yesterday and had a blast - thats what its all about afterall !

Glad it is clearing. It is amazing what a little bleach and Borax can do for you, isn't it?

Great thread. I'm experiencing the same problem and everything that has been said has been helpful. I am going to follow what was said for the others. My question is what product can I use to raise the alkalinity. Right now I'm at 45. My CYA is 50, Ph 7.2, FC 3. I don't want to buy one of the Pool Co. products for fear of what else it may do. Is theree a "pure" prooduct I can add.

Baking soda can be used to raise alk.

Hello, Alemeg, welcome to the forum!!

Just wanted to add a caution that your Cl is on the low end of recommended for a CYA of 50--don't let it get below 3!

!Update!

Following the instructions given here, has led my pool to a level of clarity thats simply amazing.

The level of expertise and assistance here is awesome.

1. I took a deep breath relaxed, and bought a good test kit.

2. Blocked out all family members / neighboors / Pool Store advices.

3. Kept my chemical levels up to treat my particular issue with constant monitor simply using the BBB method.

Result ?

A crystal clear pool that my family, frends and neighboors are enjoying. No eye irritation, complaints from parents the next day or rash on their kiddies skin, and a tan that rivals Hassleholf.

Thanks and HAGS ! (have a good summer)

Hi All,

2 days ago I started seeing small green algea deposits on floor.

36k gal ig vinyl
FC- 5
TC -5
Ph - 7.3
TA 100
CYA - 35

Water Temp -92 Pool is in direct sun from rise til set and was wondering if this can account for that ?

My numbers seem right - I added 30oz poly60 this morning and have took the clips off the timer for 24/7 pump til clear up.

Am I on the right track here ?
Am I not running the pump long enough ? its set to 12 hrs.

Many Thanks,

Rob
