Hi,

I've got a problem which has persisted for a couple months and I've searched but maybe I'm not searching for the correct terms.

All winter long (such as it is in LA) the pool was nice and blue. Come spring I cleaned the DE filter, and must have put too much DE in, because it blew straight back into the pool. The bottom of the pool is cloudy, unless I try to brush off the sides, in which case the entire pool is cloudy. I've cleaned the filter again - twice.

And now it's been turning green (slightly, but enough). My best theory is that the DE is holding onto the the algae. So I'm about to try a flocculant, followed by vacuuming.

Am I thinking right?
