Hi

Wnder if any one can enlighten me. Cleaned our saltwater pool 2 days ago, water fairly greenish. My young helper added chlor shock and salt. After 24 hours pool no longer green but looks like glacial melt water ie blue and milky. Anyone know how to get the water to  clear. be obliged for any help.

Did you check the salt levels before adding more?  I opened my salt pool on Sunday and no salt was needed after checking the levels.  We also don't use choc (or anything come to that, the water was very slightly cloudy that's all).  The Ph was good I just needed to clean the salt cell as the unit's 2 red lights were on indicating either low salt or dirty cell.

I wouldn't like to recommend what to do as my expertise doesn't extend that far though I'm sure Pool Guy will add a reply soon.

Yes there is a number of causes to that problem but to be specific for

an effective remedy I would have to test the water... difficult over

the web.

The best thing we can do here is to analyse the water with the tests your have.

What for example is your free chlorine level now that you ahve choced?

What is the pH?

What is the total alkalinity?

Is you water generally hard (tap water)

I'll help you if I can
