did you attempt vacuuming through the filter ?

Not yet, the debri field was way to big lol, I started out with water level above skimmer and took it down to bottom of skimmer. I think I got the majority of it on vac to waste. From this point on any vacuuming I will try thru filter. I hope to be swimming this afternoon or tomorrow. I read somewhere that high chlorine level and brushing can help lift leaf stains, I have some of that

Got the filter cycle going with the DE, seems to be working, the pressure is climbing much faster than before I used floc, gonna sit by the pool all day and see what happens
