I have had water tested constantly at shop all levels are good - my water can be crystal clear but when I put the chlorine in it only takes a few minutes and the pool looks like milk and doesn't clear for a few days again. The pool shop have no idea.

If you are using HTH (clorinated calcium) Your filter may be
shot and allowing the calcium to get back in the pool and may
make the water cloudy until it settles on the bottom. If so, the
filter needs to be repaired or replaced. Try using Dichlor
(clorinated cyanuric acid with a PH of 6) If it still does that then
I would dump half the water and refill. Dichlor is a superior
product anyway. Once stabilized - you dont have to add anything
else, like acid and stay away from algaecides - they just pollute
the water and are unnecessary. By the way, backflush your
filter every couple of weeks or so.

The milky white colour are easily gas bubbles. that's no longer an excess of chlorine or the different situation, i've got considered published in right here. whilst the ask your self is broadcast into the pool, it starts off to oxidize any organics that's supplied in touch with. If there are multiple organics, you will get various gas produced. it is going to hardly take place to a pool that has a adequate unfastened accessible chlorine residual as there's no extensive quantity of organics interior the water, they have been dealt with by utilising your stabilized chlorine (pucks).

The milky white colour are actually gas bubbles. It's not an excess of chlorine or any other issue, I've seen posted in here. When the shock is broadcast into the pool, it begins to oxidize any organics it comes in contact with. If there are a lot of organics, you'll get a lot of gas produced. It will rarely happen to a pool that has a sufficient free available chlorine residual as there is no huge amount of organics in the water, they've been taken care of by your stabilized chlorine (pucks).

Have them check your cyanuric acid level. It should be no higher than 50 parts per million. I believe it's even lower in a vinyl lined pool if that's what you have. If it is too high you will have to drain your pool 50 percent and fill with fresh water. This is the only way to lower the cyanuric acid. Cyanuric acid acts as a sunblock for the chlorine so the sun does not dissipate the chlorine as quickly.
Are you using granular chlorine? If so adding excessive amounts of granular chlorine will do this. Try mixing the granules in a bucket of water, pour the liquid off the top and trash the granules. Safely of course.

Too much chlorine. Check pH. Add balancer. Easy.
