Cloudy Pool after battling algae.

Thanks for the advice . I'm applying some patience and it seems to be paying off as I get all the junk filtered out of the pool. How often should I be brushing the pool? Is it better to vacuum the accumulation at the bottom or just brush it into the water again?

You should be brushing the pool at least daily. As far as the stuff on the bottom, vacuuming it, if you can vacuum to waste, will get rid of it much quicker than brushing it up into the water. If it's big enough, you might also try a fine-meshed net to scoop some of it off the bottom to get it out. If all else fails, then brush it up into the water. The filter will eventually get it, but it will take a good bit longer.

Something you might try is adding a little DE powder to your sand filter. Many of us do this and it helps your sand filter to filter out things that are a little smaller than it normally could. It is a little tricky getting just the right amount. You can read more about it at the following link. Just something else to consider. Glad the pool is starting to look better!
