Anyone know anything about Inground Pools?
I'm beating my head against the wall here.
My mother has a 20'X40' inground pool. I'm the primary caretaker. For some reason, I'm having a hell of a time with cloudy water. pH is perfect. Alkalinity is perfect. Chlorine is mid-range but seems to be up and down from day to day. This is the first time I've ever had this problem. WTF

Have you tried shocking it? That has always been my sort of "reset button" when I would run into that sort of an issue.

I may do it again just for giggles. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm scratching my head here.

I know they are nice to swim in, but not when they got that stankonia in them like yours apparently does.

Dead hooker at the bottom. How old is the filter sand?

I know that's why I have "friends with pools"
Seriously, take a water sample to the local pool store, they'll test it and fix you right up and save you a bunch of hassle. Take the dead hooker out first

Shocking is the goto for my grandpa too.. if for some reason that doesn't work he just takes a sample to be tested at the place he bought the pool from and they tell him what to do. Last time they told him to add calcium or some shit.. he doesn't use chlorine though.

Has it been raining a lot there? granted, I would think shocking it would take care of it, but hard telling.

Go with the "take it to the pool store" option, save yourself time, headache and cash.
