Just wanted to give you an update on our pool. This is Andrea and Tim has been meaning to drop by and post the update. Well-- right after this all came to a head... I decided to throw in the towel with the filter and just go buy a new one. Right before we purchased the new one "Tim" figured out that the cap on the sand filter was put on incorrectly back in FEB before sand was changed and the pool was just re-circulating the water and had been for 3 months. I have to say once fixed our pool was cleared in a matter of hours. I know this is all a crazy story but true... We did all of this work and knew nothing about our sand filter to know that the cap on the top was put on incorrectly buy the one and only hubby. I just wanted to let you know what happened and apologize for all the headache I caused. I had NO clue that the filter was not working properly and had not clue that my husband could of put the cap on wrong so I just assumed that all the stuff everyone was saying was CRAP and not working. LOL. I seriously was ready to fill in the pool with dirt-- but here we are with a clear pool and the kids/family and friends are all enjoying it all too much! We are still using the BBB method and it's perfect.. Again I wanted to thank you all for all of your help and most of all your wonderful pool methods. I'm still new at this but I've learned so much! Thank you PoolDoc and again I'm sorry :-(
