cloudy water

[CarlD]

Here's the entire system. The person who opened the pool left the valve all the way to the left in the closed position which I believe controls the drain in the bottom of the pool. The valve next to it is the skimmer I think and I'm not really sure what the two valves are on the right. I just added two more gallons of bleach a little earlier and I'll report back in the morning with results.

In the picture, the two valves to the left control water coming FROM the pool to the pump. One is undoubtedly the skimmer, the other is from the low drain(s). The two on the right are for the returns--filtered water coming back to the pool, after passing through the in-line chlorinator. The pipe coming directly out of the right side of the filter and going straight into the ground is your backwash drain line.
Hope this helps.
