Green Algae Super
Our pool water is cloudy. What more can we do to fix this siutation? Here are the things we have done...?
When we took the pool cover off the water was clear. Then it turned green from some algae. We cleared up the green and now the pool is milky and white. It is very cloudy. We used a bottle of clarifier and still no change. We shocked it twice, have a new pump, and changed our sand to zeobrite. We are still cloudy. The store wanted me to try Super Floc??? Someone else told me to leave the pool alone for 4 or 5 days and just vaccuum the bottom. I don't know what to do. We are confused and upset and spending a lot on this pool. Please help.
We had our PH and alcalitity checked. That is normal. We also backwashed etc
What kind of clarifier did you use before?
Super Floc coagulates the fine particles together to make it easier for the filter to remove. A 32 oz. bottle is good for a 40,000 gal. pool and is about $14. Also, zeobrite gives out a cloudy discharge when brand new. You need to backwash it until the water looks clear in the sight glass before running the water back into the pool. Another important thing to remember at closing time is to make sure the water chemistry is correct. I prefer a slightly higher chlorine count before I close mine which helps to get me up and running quicker in the spring. Good luck!
