I have an above ground pool. Filled with well water, just about ran well dry. The choline is 3. PH is 6.8 or a little lower. Calcium Hardness is about an 80 and TA is 100. I don't see any algae but the water has a green tint and is cloudy.
Will the low PH cause the green and cloudiness?
Is it possible for the cloudiness to be coming from dirty well water? There are little particles of dirt floating that I am trying to vacuum. Used clarifier yesterday to try to help.
Still greenish and cloudy.
Any suggustions are greatly appreciated.

No a low pH won't cause cloudiness, it's usually a combination of high pH, high alkalinity and high calcium, usually present in well water.
The green tint may be caused by low chlorine level (and emminent algae bloom) or iron. Have the water tested for iron and report back.
