Me again.....retained 30PPM FC for the past 30 hours or so and still can see the bottom....pressure is strong at 11psi with no need to back wash, even after a thorough brushing....skimmer sock has been in place for days now without the need to clean or change out (although it is picking up alot of scum)...
As posted way earlier, i had needed to purchase a new lateral/stand pipe for the 164 Hayward filter...With the install of the new laterals, i also "treated" the filter to new sand.....I paid Walmart $3.72 per 50 lb bag INSTEAD of the $9.50 the pool store wanted....(My filter uses 100lbs)......now based on those dollar amounts, Am I essentially "getting what I pay for" using the Walmart sand ???...SHould I have opted for the pool store sand instead ?? Could the sand actually be my green water problem ??
