water is cloudy please help

[bdean07]

I definatly will. I will tell anyone who mentions to me that they have a pool to come here. Hopefully that MA will work on the cloud this afternoon and we may get some swimtime in this weekend. How long after you use it before safe to swim?

[PoolDoc]

You can swim whenever the chlorine is OK and the pH is between 7 & 8. The only hazard from cloudy water is losing track of someone -- drownings have occurred that way.

Thanks again! LOL... I do not think we will lose anyone in our Intex pool. Even the grandkids can touch! I'm hoping that MA clears it up by Saturday. I'm gonna put it in tonight before I go to Happy hour and then I won't worry about it till the morning. Have a fantastic weekend.

[PoolDoc]

Thanks . . . but test your pH; don't let it get too low.

[bdean07]

I defiantly will! Low and behold I get home and I can see blue squares!!! Still a little cloudy but I can actually see the bottom! Do you think I should still use the MA? Test says every things the same except the chlorine is a tiny bit lower 2 not 3. Let me go read up on your household bleach again because I have Clorox regular I know I read something about Clorox being tricky

[PoolDoc]

If it's clearing, why not wait till tomorrow. Except for chlorine, we generally tell people to avoid adding things if they don't need to do so.

Thanks for all you help the pool is crystal clear and grnadkids swam all weekend... Might need to add some water from all the splash out! Other than that everything tests good this morning! Again thanks for your expertise and time.
