Problem with water being cloudy/murky.

Hey! Glad to hear there is progress!

If you really want it to clear up more quickly, do as advised here and test and add chlorine a few times a day and leave the pump running 24/7 until you conquer the beast

Brushing the pool is GREAT! - it gets the chlorine into the 'low interface' areas and stirs up any algae that is still trying to keep it's hold.

How high is the sand in your filter - it should be ~ 1/2 way full - the filter needs a certain amount of 'head room' to filter properly, if it had been overfilled in the past, that could explain why some is coming out when you backwash.

Thread update: Today my water is crystal clear. I don't know where the credit lies, but after getting my stabilizer levels up (finally), keeping the chlorine levels up, and in general keeping a watchful eye on the pool chemistry my water is as clear as I've ever seen. I am completely thrilled.

Believe it of not I have actually decreased the pump run time since installing the SWCG by a few hours per day. I think the pool has found it's balance.

I'm really glad your pool is under control!

Thanks for the update! I hope the rest of the season is without issue.
