    Talking Re: Cloudy water is it my filter?

    Just want to update.

    I took my sand filter apart, found out that the installer 7 years ago had use a 1.1/4 pipe standout on a 2" filter head. Spyders were ok. No wonder it wouldn't filter. Glued in an adapter and pipe to 2" and reinstall my sand and filter head. Big job on a 30" filter.

    Within 4 days the pool as clear up perfectly.

    Added 2 box of borax and 1 box of sod bicarb.
    Added 3 x 2 kgs of stabilizer and now the pool is clear and uses very little chlorine.

    Here are my numbers, from the pool shop test but mine are basically the same.
    FC 3
    TC 3
    PH 7.5
    TA 140
    CH 220
    CYA 70
    Borate 30
    Copper 0.5

    I took a sample of water to my pool shop and they gave me a perfect water balance certificate !
    Thanks for the help.

    Now I got a few stains on the liner, whats the best product to clean does?
