Re: Cloudy Water
If you can supply answers to some of the questions in my post above, it might help someone here have some better advice for you and help you figure out how to clear this pool up.
Re: Cloudy Water
a post didn't show up. hmmm? oh well, I have city water. I dont know if i have metals in it. I did put several shocks in that had algaecide. I think they used copper in the shock.
Re: Cloudy Water
Are you able to get one of the kits from Walmart that I mentioned above? We really need some good numbers to be able to help.
Re: Cloudy Water
It sounds like the the 'green' is gone, but the pool is remaining cloudy?
A very common cause of this problem is the oversized pump + undersized filter combination typical of AG pool packages. What happens is that the big pump forces the dirt (dead algae) THROUGH the little filter, AND also washes the sand out during backwashes.
Do the "DE-test" on your filter to make sure it's actually working OK. If it is continued use of DE in a sand filter will help capture and filter out the fine particles causing the cloudiness . . . at the price of more frequent backwashing. http://pool9.net/de-test/
