We just had this exact problem following a Memorial Day pool party. Everything was reading perfect on our electronic system and our testing strips. When we took our water in to the our pool lab, they tested for other chemicals that we were not capable of testing. We found that phosphates were present in our pool. We had just had our lawn service out earlier that week. We were told that pesticides, detergents, potting soils and such could all produce this type of problem in the pool. We sprayed our pool with "Revive" and it is perfect and blue again and the readings are still in tact. Perhaps you should ask your lab to test for phosphates. Hope this helps.

Cleaning a saltwater pool is no different to a chlorine pool. Checking for pH, chlorine levels, etc. is exactly the same, except you have to also check the salt level in the pool as well. Backwashing filters is also no different. The added component is the chlorinator, which is cleaned by placing it in hydrochloric acid in a bucket. Read up your manual if not sure.
