it is just cloudy now. What causes it? Can it be fixed. I know I need to go to the pool professionals ,but they don't open for 3 more ours. So has this happened to anyone? New pool owners, as you can tell we are. I had not shocked for 9 days, then I shocked last night and you know, the water looks clean....just cloudy as all can get! Thanks for the answer.

It,s either a water balance problem( Alkalinity, pH or Hardness) or you need to run the filter and filter out what the chlorine killed.

Pools normally turn cloudy after a chlorine shock. They should remain cloudy for a day or so before the filter can circulate it out. Give it some time, it was in need of chlorine so just let the filter do its job.

I had a hot tub that would do the same thing from time to time. It should clear up on its own. If it doesn't, There is a chemical called Clear Blue. It a big bottle of blue gel that will clear up the water for you

If you just wait a while, it should clear back up again. If not you may want to bring a sample of your water to a place like Pinch-a-Penny so they can do a more thorough test.

Turn the pump off, let the algae settle to the bottom, then vacuum the bottom and mop the sides.

Maybe it's reflecting off the clouds

that is dead algea, bacteria and oxides from the chlorine. your filter should remove it in a day or two!
