    You need to keep the Cl level up to 15ppm and keep it there until you have zero CC. I would stop using all that other junk and also get a good test kit.

    Bill,

    The other additives may well have contributed to the cloudiness.

    My memory is vague but it seems like I remember something that pH up (which I think is soda ash) can contribute cloudiness to a pool under certain conditions. I think I remember also that it is temporary. (Wow! Talk about wild guesses!)

    Waterbear, get in here and straighten this out!
