Water is cloudy in my swimming pool, do you think this might work?
Our pool has been cloudy for a few days and you can’t even see the bottom of the pool in the shallow end. It looks pretty disgusting and it’s a pretty dark green. On Saturday I added 1gal of liquid chlorine but forgot to check the levels, nothing happened. Today I checked the levels, Chlorine was high, pH was a tad high, Alkalinity was low, and CYA(whatever that is)was low. So I added Muratic Acid, Pool Perfect, and Powder Plus Shock Treatment. I poured them all into the skimmer because at the time it seemed like the best way to disperse the chemicals.It came back through the Spa/Jacuzzi and waterfalled into the pool, and for a few minutes made bubbles. But now thinking, I think that was semi-retarded because that goes straight to the filter. What do you think and can you give me advice on what to do if I’ve made a mistake?
As others suggested, shock the hell out of the water with chlorine. As one writer noted, stop peeing in the pool as chlorine will be used to stop the effects of the urine and the chlorine forms chloromines which makes the chlorine ineffective.
Finally, the most common cause of cloudiness is caused by Ph imbalance. If the Ph is too high, you need to add some more muriatic acid.
The BEST thing you could do is to take a sample (about a liter) of your water to a pool chemical supply store. They will analyze the water and tell/sell you exactly what you need.
Before you go to the pool supply store, know the approximate length, width and average depth of the pool so that they can determine the volume and sell you the appropriate amounts of the different chemicals that will get your water crystal clear.
