Ive been continously adding 12.5% bleach and brushing the pool to get the water color from a dark green to a cloudy blue and can see some of the bottom. There is no CYA in the pool and im scared to start my DE Filter because anytime i have live algae in the water it clogs up the "fingers" and i have to open the whole thing up and soak the fingers to clean them.

Is this just how it is or is there a better way?
