Well, for the first time since I have had my tub (about a year) I opened the cover to semi-cloudy water. It wasn't so bad that you couldn't see the jets or the bottom but it was "milky". PH and Alk tested ok.
Now, could this be it? I did clean my filters two days before, and it was so freakin cold outside there's a very good chance I didn't rinse them off as well as I should. I used a clear bright yellow liquid called Fliter Clean by Aqua Chem that smelled slightly acidic.
I shocked yesterday afternnon with SpaGuard Enhanced Shock so I am hoping that will take care of it. My question is, could an over abundance of filter cleaner cause the water to "murk up" and if the shock hasn't cleared it when I get home to check on it, what is my next step? Thanks guys (and gals)

I'm a huge believer in a little clarifier. It blows my mind how well it works. However, if the cloudiness is do to the filter cleaner, I don't know...

Good news, last night when I got home, the water was crystal clear. I dont' know if it originally turned cloudy because of the filters not being rinsed thoroughly or not. Just glad it is clear again. I would like to get a bottle of clarifier though for those times when shock might not work. Thanks for the suggestion.
