Yay!! I can see the drain.
I had to hose down the cartridges Saturday morning AND evening, but since then the pressure has stayed very low. After a few days of 24/7 filter operation, I can finally see the bottom of the pool. It's not sparkling yet, but it's on its way.I'm glad we have a new, more energy efficient pump motor!
Lesson learned. Last night I had a vivid dream that we had one bad rainstorm and the pool went right back to green and slimy. But in the real world, it was a long term case of neglect.

I live to hear success stories like yours, I am glad that your problem is all but gone, and I'm sure all the other members of the forum are too. I wish that all the pool owner's who's pools I care for had your dedication and willingness to care for their investment like you do!!!
Do what you bought the pool for; enjoy it all summer
