After I posted I realized I finally have the ability to search so I've been reading tons of info I put a sock full of white wash cloths on my return shortly after posting on here and have had to clean it twice already....the wash cloths were reddish orange within an hour. My sand filter is doing a good job at getting the stuff out, the pool already looks better 24 hours later, it's more of a strong tea color than orange but it still needs more work. I knew it was going to be a slow process to get it to be clearer so I'm in no rush. I just bought a brush so I can brush the pool and I'll be so happy once this is part is done. Thanks for your help and patience, I can imagine how frustrating it is to have the same questions asked over and over and over again. Have a great weekend!
