    1. Open the filter.
    2. Open the valve that runs from the filter to the pool. Let it flush that line, out the filter opening. Close the valve.

    Our water is absolutley crystal clear!!! I am still getting some brownish stuff at the bottom daily and my filter is almost always full of brownish gunk but the water is perfect! We are still working with the pH but otherwise it is perfect!!

    Cool Re: Water "Color" Problems!! Ready to give up!!

    I am so glad we didnt give up! My next question is: how often and how much do I use the polyquat now that my pool is clear?

    Thanks!

    If you want to continue to use it, to help with filtration and algae, applying it 2x per week, in alternating doses of 1/4 cup and 1/8 cup, should work well.

    But, remember, polyquat does NOT replace chlorine -- you MUST keep chlorine in the pool all the time.
