[Cloudy After Super Chlorinating]

OK...thanks for the knowledge...I guess my next question is what was tha t white buildup that started to begin with...was it algae or something else???

What was the chemical in the "shock"? If it was calcium hypochlorite, then you received very bad advice from that pool store employee.

Calcium must never be put in the pool on the same day as pH increaser. The calcium combines with the carbonates and hydroxides to form calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide.

If you can provide a full set of chemical reading, we can better assist you.

Pool stores are full of excess lie. The excess lie causes your Visa Debt and frustration levels to skyrocket.

[Cloudy After Super Chlorinating]

HI All...I have some concern on some advice I received at the local pool store regarding the conditioning of my pool...yesterday I brought a sample in and the water was crystal clear...chlorine and free chlorine was Ok...PH was a little low and alkalinity was fine...I told the tech I had a white film starting to form on the bottom and was hard to scrape off(my pool is a built in 16x32 with gunite bottom and fiberglass walls...it was painted 3 years ago with and epoxy paint)..she told me it was algae forming and I needed to up the PH and super shock it with 7bags of shock...when I got home I dumped the soda ash and checked after 2 hours..ph level was 7.9...then I broadcasted the 7 bags of shock...which instantly turned my pool water white and unable to see a foot down..now here I am 24 hours later with no change...water still white with no visibility...my question is will this clear up soon or was I given the wrong advice..filter always runs 24/7..thanks ..JOe
