Pool filter failed. Water has been sitting for about two months. Super green, lots of little swimmers, bugs. I can only imagine what is on the bottom. I am replacing the filter this weekend. I refilled the pool last year. 14k gallons, uses chlorine system to sanitize.
Question, try and re-condition or drain and refill?
. . . it's possible to clean up, of course. But what's easiest or best depends on what sort of filter you have, and what it will cost to drain and refill. So . . .
What kind of filter?
How much will it cost you to drain and refill?
Installing pentair fnsp36 this weekend. Should cost between $100-150 in water.
Cleaning up a swamp with a DE filter is painful and expensive -- since you are in an area where there's no risk of high ground water lifting the pool, drain it!
(I'm assuming you have either a concrete or fiberglass pool? Do NOT drain a vinyl pool!!!)
I'm thinking he same thing.
Thanks for your input
I drained my pool last year due to extremely high CYA levels. Check with the city to see if they have anything for refilling pools, I was able to notify my city when I refilled my pool and received a lower rate for that period of time. Worth checking out.
