If your pool is foggy, this means you have an algae problem. You should first check your chlorine levels. If they are less than 1 part per million (ppm),you should test for chloramines. If none are found you need to shock your pool and raise your chlorine levels. Adding algacide wont kill the algae but it will make the algae spores more susceptible to the chlorine shock. Now, test for conditioner
. levels.The conditioner needs should be at least 30 to hold the chlorine. It prevents chlorine loss from uv rays. You can now add water clarifier. This will combine the small particles that would normally pass through the filter and make them filterable. Circulate your pool water for at least 24 hours straight, until clear and backwash the filter. Visit answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid for mre information.
