    Question Post Isaac Situation (cloudy)

    So about 24 hours before the power went out, I went ahead and spiked the pool with bleach just figuring I would lose power for a while. I was out for 3 days. We had a swimming/cleaning party over the weekend and got all the leaves, sticks, and branches out (a few wheel barrels full). The water was still in pretty darn good shape and very clear. After getting out all the debris, I started running the polaris with a "panty ho" on it to pick up all the tiny debris. Since then it has been very cloudy. I turned off the polaris and it started clearing up. When I ran it again it got cloudy again.

    Do I have some really tiny debris that the filter or polaris is not picking up? The filter pressure is only up 5 psi since last backwash.

    Thanks!
