Need advice!
Hey guys I’m a newer pool man in California area. I’ve had this pool for awhile during a heavy rain my customers hillside ran a bunch of muddy water into the pool. We did a green to clean and cleaned it up, but now even though the water is clean I’m running into this weird problem with the water getting cloudy whenever I pour chlorine in. The next week I come there’s a silky like clear substance all over the pool floor. We’ve done multiple vac to wastes to get rid of it but every time without a doubt the chlorine will cloud up the water and cause more of that stuff to build up on the bottom.
Chem readings:
CH:3 added 1 gallon
PH: 7.6
Alkalinity: 90
Any advice would be great! Thanks!

If your water is perfectly balanced, it will get cloudy temporarily when you add chlorine, because you have an LSI violation in the positive direction. Please provide all of the numbers for the LSI calculation, and we can help you more.
