    Do you have a reputable pool store in the vicinity that can test your CYA for you? Just don't let them talk you into buying a bunch of stuff. They will try! I think running your pump on low may help with the filtration. Having too big of a pump is a problem we frequently see. People assume a bigger more powerful pump should be better, but the opposite is usually true. A smaller pump with a bigger filter works better than the other way around. Run the pump 24/7 and clean the filter as needed. You may also want to buy some skimmer socks as they may help filter out the smaller particles.

    Did you have an algae bloom recently?

    Get us a CYA reading and I think we can help you clear this up. And, get the good kit as soon as you are able. It will make a big difference for you.
