Pool still cloudy white. Been a week today... This stinks.

Yeah we had that same storm. My FC was 1 today...barely! You gave us GREAT info: Your cart has a rating of 80gpm and your sand 25gpm. IMHO isconnect the sand filter and use the cart. It has far greater capacity and, at its root, filters better.

It's not that live algae is the same size as dead algae, it's that as long as algae is live it keeps making MORE algae to filter out. Dead algae doesn't.

So just a wrap up. Pool is clear. Well it looks clear but something was off. I noticed a brown ring just below the water line. Something else seemed off also but I did not kno what.

Well I read the staining section, in the metals forum, and bought some vitamin C to do the test. Holy cow!!! I cleared a small spot so bright in the liner. The pool liner is actually blue. I been looking at a grey liner and did not even realize.

Yep. That was it. Clear water but a dull grey/brownish liner.

I have a post in the metals section, but no one has responded.

I wonder if I should take pics of how the vitamin C cleaned the liner??? There should be a pic section. Possible it will help others. I have alot of time and probably could document.

There are pics of my cloudy pool. I guess I will take pics with the dull liner. I plan on trying the absorbic acid.

I may just close the pool this year. Its getting expensive with all the filter running on high. All the bleach. Now absorbic acid was $$.( Just ordered today) Now I need polyquat, and metal something. Then watch the PH, and no high chlorine....Uggg. Probably just going to screw it up more. But as soon as the Chlorine level drops Im swimming until the acid gets here.

After that who knows. Its costing me $500 in chemicals just to swim for 3 months and get the pool right. Heck its only 6000 gallons. Imagine I had 20000 like alot of folks here. Should have bought a yr beach pass for the Jersey shore and took the kids there. Unemployment if tuff. Well I am in it this far right??? Cant stop now....I dont know....

Ugggggg!!!!!

You've come to far to throw in the towel at this point. Hang in there!

I may just close the pool this year.
Ugggggg!!!!!

Dont do it, when the temp rises again here in Jersey youll be happy you didnt give up. Just think of how much gas youll save driving to the shore.
