Geez pool is still cloudy.

cool thanks for the advice. I'll do a blind vacuum this week and try to get a bunch of that dead algae off the bottom. Maybe that stuff keeps stirring up from the circulation.

well its clearing up more...I can see down the sidewalls today. This weekend a good vacuuming is in order. I still can'lt seem to get my ph up. Since it read 6.8 I've added 2 boxes of borax and 4 lbs of ph increaser left over froma couple years ago....still reading 6.8 ???

6.8 is the lowest pH level a lot of kits will show (probably yours too??), so it could be a lot below 6.8 and that's why you're not showing an increase.

Yeah I was thinking that and when i took a sample of pool water into my pool store...they said my Ph was 7.1. I added a box of borax since then and I'm still reading 6.8. Maybe I'll try to find my test strips and see what they think. I'll take another sample to the pool store and see if they get a higher reading than 7.1.

just an update today i could see the bottom clearly, so i did the some sweep and vacuum. Got most of the dead algae out. Pool is looking blue thanks for the help.
