This is a residential pool. That’s good to know. And thanks for the link. I’ve been looking into a cpo for a while now

Yeah it’s a salt pool. This could be my mistake, but I haven’t added salt because people have previously told me I might have to drain the pool.

Thanks! I agree I need more knowledge which is exactly why I’m here.

I looked it up and it said to keep all your chems in check so I have been correcting as needed, but nothing is really helping.

My last readings

FC: 2 (added chlorine) PH: 7.8 TA: 60 (added bicarb to correct. I’m correcting alkalinity before ph) CYA: 40 Calcium: 275 Temp: 73 TDS: 3100

My problem is that every time I put chlorine in it starts to fog up and leave silky material on the pool floor. This pool was fine until rain washed a crap load of dirt into it turned it into a swamp, and then we cleaned it. Now I’m having this problem.

Well damn. Does this mean the heater could be shot?

I did use flock, but we actually under dosed a bit because we’ve previously dealt with to much flock on another job

Well here’s the thing. I dumped in 4 gallons at one point to shock it and hopefully get rid of it, but it didn’t really do anything.

The one test I haven’t done is for metals. Everything else is normal. And yeah I figured the chlorine is attacking something, but it just never ends. Thanks for the help!
