I had a pool disaster over the winter when a mountain stream flooded above the pool and leaves/sticks/mud came in under the cover. (I have a large culvert and a ditch around the pool but sometimes too much rain falls too fast and the debris clogs both. This happened this time) I couldn't tell how much mud was in there and optimistically chose to filter the water rather than empty the pool. (Vinyl lined in-ground 20X25 irregular shaped). Have been filtering 24/7 for over two weeks now, frequent backwashing of sand filter. Lots of yuck coming out. Also using vacuum robot and Dolphin electric bag-filter robot. Have super chorinated it and used probably too much of Aqua Chem clarifier. Water is now consistently muddly looking but much better than when I started. I can see the first step of the steps, about 18" down, which I could not when I started. Dirt does not settle out to the bottom when I shut off the filter for 24 hours. Particles remain suspended. Put a Slimebag on the return and got lots of fine particles too. (blew out the seam on the Slimebag and am now in process of washing it and repairing it; will put it back on) My question is, if I used too much clarifier, bottle says I can make the matter worse and disperse small particles rather than collect them. How do I undo this, or can I?
