I just refilled the tub and cleaned it well about 2 weeks ago. I also replaced the filter. I balanced the chemistry and water was perfect. My kids got in the tub a few nights ago and I checked the chemistry the next day to make adjustments. PH was 7.2, TA 50, FC .5, CH 100. I made an adjustment to the CH and then shocked with dichlor. It’s been two days and still cloudy, but chemistry is good. What gives? I’ve never had cloudy water like this with this new of water. I’m wondering if something is up with the new filter or ??
 
FC .5?

Adding CH can make the water cloudy.

FYI: Good chemistry doesn't mean there isn't particulate matter in the water column.
