Starting off just like I left last season :(

I wouldn't floc again. Just keep the filter running. As long as your chemical numbers are good, and your water is clear, what would the purpose of using floc again? The less you put in your pool the better

It's still a little cloudy.

If you want to clear it up fast, then floc, you probably won't need as much this time.

I added what was left in the bottle, which was less than half the recommended dose and we'll see how that goes.

Wow I cannot believe the crud that fell to the floor of the pool. It was greenish in color, but I don't believe it to be algae.

I mean my CYA has been dropping with the swapping of old water for new and is at 45ppm and my FC was 15ppm overnight. The PH was 7.4 and ALK was 80. There was no CC present. I can't figure out why my water was clear after the first treatment and then got cloudy again.

Hopefully after this last treatment I will be alright. I am running the filter 12 hours a day. I am little puzzled.

I'm puzzled too I would think that with the clear water, and the fact that all of your numbers were good, that the water would have stayed clear. The only thing I can think of is that there may have been more pollen falling into the pool that wasn't getting filtered out until the particles combined and fell to the bottom with the floc. Maybe someone else has some ideas

I think you are right about the pollen. The piles were visible again this morning and my wife vacuumed to waste this morning. I am just puzzled as in the 10 years of owning this pool this is kinda a new experience with the cloudiness.

I guess the good news is that my CYA is going down due to the water replacement process. If it gets cloudy again with good numbers I am getting out the sledge hammer and knocking over the pool walls. JK

I know the feeling!! It amazes me how each year is different - sometimes the rain is acidic, sometimes there is more and different looking pollen. Sometimes I open to really clean water, sometimes to a swamp Oh well, the thing to remember is to keep the water sanitized, and try to get the water balanced Hppy swimming!
