Pool still cloudy white. Been a week today... This stinks.

Its a small pool. There is no deep end. I cant see 6" down, and even that might be the reflection. No floor drain.

I been brushing, and vacuuming everyday.

The return is one of those lights, and is aimed downish. It always sprays out the side away from the skimmer.

Get the cloudy water to the filter!!!!!!??????? The whol pool is cloudy. I am sure the cloud is getting there...LOL

I dont think its channeled, and if DE was getting back I would not know. It would be the same color of the water...Ha,ha...

I had my old cartridge filter hooked in series with the sand. The filter is old but it does build pressure. I got tired of sparaying it, so I took the cartridge out and am just using the sand. I can see light through some of the pleates. No holes but real thin in areas. Its 6 yrs old...LOL

Oh and I think the blue stuff might be working. I added 4 oz this morning. I just backwashed for the overnight run and the glass was really white, like it was catching stuff finally. Or it could be the DE , but usually the DE comes out quick, and then the glass is clear. This time the glass stayed white for a good minute.

I have a new cartridge coming but will not be here until Tuesday, so I am stuck with using the sand.

The reason I have two filters, is because the sand is way easier for start up with heavy debris. The cart cloggs to fast. Once I get it clear I use the cart. I usually only need to clean once during the season. Its 100 sq ft.

I only been adding about 1/4 cup of DE. If I add more the pressure goes up quickly and slows the return. Then it gets to 19 psi from 12 psi start and just sits there.
