    Thank you again for the info.

    You definitely seem to know what you are talking about and if you recommend the DE filter we would like to get those. Is it easy to switch over to them? If the De is the way to go then we want to change them. We just want our pool back to normal working order. It's starting to turn green and my husband is getting frustrated.
    Do you know the best RPM's to run the filter and the cleaner at?

    Have a great weekend.

    If the pool is going green, then you need to shock it, and maintain your shock level, until it clears up--and you don't need to wait until you've changed filters to do so--the longer you let it go green, the longer it'll take to clear it up. The filter will remove the dead algae from the pool, but you need to kill it first. Your shock level is based on your CYA (see the "best guess chlorine chart" link in my sig for further explanation and the chart), but you'll first need to get a set of test results on your water taken with a drop-based kit (no strips!) in order to know what point you're starting from.
