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

[chem geek]

With a smaller pool, is there just one return and no floor drains? Is the cloudiness mostly in the deeper water? If so, then poor circulation could be a problem where pointing the return downwards (or diagonally downwards) and brushing can help stir up the cloudy water to get it to the skimmer and into the filter.

Also, you could try adding some DE to your sand filter to improve filtration though your first post sounded like you tried that. You first note the PSI reading on your filter (with the pump running, of course), add 1/4 cup of DE in a bucket of water and pour it into the skimmer and then wait a couple of minutes, check the PSI reading on the filter, add another 1/4 cup of DE, repeat, until the pressure on the filter rises by 1 PSI. This should not take more than 1-2 cups of DE, probably less in your case since your filter is smaller.

Hopefully Ben will have some more ideas since he wrote that there are 100 Reasons for Cloudy Swimming Pool Water!
