    Couple questions: I had cleared it up and then the color turned again.

    Now its finally clear again and my filters look good also.

    Questions: we are using the vacuum that came with it, the one you
    Hook up to the water hose. Is that vacuum and water hose adding of my well water to my pool to make the water turn again? Like could it be adding even more iron ore and metals?

    Second: we have a sand pump. Would that work better than the little filter/pump that came with the pool?

    Third: should I get the vacuum hose that hooks up to the pump instead of the water hose?

    Yes, absolutely.

    Not at removing fine particles, especially if you put the Unicel cartridges in.

    Yes.
