    Question Rookie pool guy - 10K above ground vinyl liner - almost there, pool a little cloudy..

    Pool Forum, Hello!

    Thank you for building and maintaining this site, it has proven incredibly effective in assisting me with getting my girlfriends pool back in shape. I think my readings are all pretty good, the PH and Chlorine seems OK - the water is just a little cloudy (visibility about 2-3 ft) What do you suggest?

    Specs:
    10K/gal above ground round pool - 4ft consistent depth
    Hayward 21" Sand Filter with 1.5 HP Power-Flo Matrix Pump with a 3' Twist Lock Cord (pretty sure this is accurate)

    Most recent readings from Taylor K-2006
    Chlorine - 2.0 (scale of 0.0-3.0 - I used the smaller test kit for this, seemed OK so I did not do an in depth reading with the Taylor kit)
    PH - 7.2
    Total Alkalinity - 160 ppm
    Calcium hardness - 130 ppm
    Cyanuric Acid - 18ppm
    **Fill water comes from a well and is very hard/metallic.

    Thanks in advance for the help, I have been through a few different scenarios that we were able to navigate and fix through older threads on your site (brown stains on liner from metal deposits, mustard algae on liner to name a couple) and I really appreciate the assistance/advice - also, I followed all of your links and purchased all my supplies through the online store via Amazon
