Photobucket Pool Blahs....

The water test's fine with the ph, alkaline levels, chlorine on the test strips. The water, however, is cloudy. What would you all do? Keep dumping in chemicals?

Take a sample of water to Hills Pool (on Knickerbocker). They will sell you all the chemicals and tell you exactly what to do. It was the only way we could keep our water clean last year...

They sell in bulk too so you will only have to buy once for the summer (maybe two summers...)

I would get it tested as well...

When this happens to us and PH and A are okay it needs an algicide and some clarifier.

Do you shock once a week?

Thanks, Ladies. I bought new filters and shock thingies. I'll try that and then take samples in if there is no improvement.

All Y'all Rock!

Oh yes, you have to replace your filters! I bet it is back to normal after a shock and a night of the filter on. :) Let us know.

After you shock the pool, all the algae dies, but their little dead bodies are still floating around...it will be cloudy until the depris gets filtered out.

(At least this has been our experience.)
