    You are welcome. Glad it is getting better. Are you watching the pressure on your filter and backwashing as needed?

    Just backwashed tonight. I read that excessive backwashing can give a cloudy pool as well ? It's getting better but usually doesn't take this long. Anything else I should be doing ?

    Backwash when you have an 8-10psi rise over your clean filter pressure or when there is a significant decrease in flow from the returns. Backwashing should not cause cloudiness. If it does, you have a problem with your filter.

    Have you maintained the high chlorine levels consistently? For how long? Is there improvement in the cloudiness every day? Have you added anything other than bleach or borax?
