New to having a pool. Started out surprisingly well now have cloudy water. Sorry for the long post....trying to include all the right details.

Through last Sunday the water has been clear, a little "dirty" as I was having pump problems but looked rather good. The pump has been running 24/7 for the last 7 days.

Tonight when I opened the pool it was cloudy. Still clear enough that I could see the water outlet at the bottom but it is definitely cloudy.

Here's the background:

16x32 vinyl inground
Hayward DE filter
1hp super pump (New)
RayPak heater at 82deg f
Pentair 300 Chlorinator with Tri pucks. (has been set to off until tonight...now on 2.5 (0-5 scale)
Power vinyl cover (covered anytime pool is not being used)
Taylor K-2005 (Will get 2006 or the proper Chlorine test when I get a chance)

Water tests (consistent from 5/30-6/6)

FC-5
TC-5
CC-0

PH-7.3
TA-190
CH 130
Temp-82deg

CYA-150+ (Have been reading here and discussing with Pool store, I understand this is quite high)

Last Sunday 6/6 and over the last week the pool got a pretty decent workout including our dog...I added 2lbs of Potassium Monopersulfate-44.7% to Shock.


This evening I opened the pool and Chlorine had dropped to maybe .5 Here are the readings

FC-.5
TC-.5
CC-0
PH-7.3
TA-190
CH-150
Temp-82deg

Tonight I've added approximately

1 lb of 45% cal-hypo
16oz of algeacide (di-methyl benzyl ammonium chloride-9.4%, Methyl ben amm-chl .04%)

Have "cycled" the DE filter about 4 times since adding the cal-hypo. (gauge goes from 18 to 22 within 5 minutes each time. Last time only to 21) About 14 seconds after cycling a 3-5 second jet of cloudy water comes from the near jet...haven't watched the far jet.

Any suggestions or changes recommended?

Thanks. This is a great resource.
