    If it were me I'd go ahead and vac "blind" - whether you can see it or not, there's stuff down there. It will help your water clear to get it out.

    When you add new water be sure to put in the sequestering agent (metal treatment) and you should be ok.

    Good luck!

    If I vac and refill I will need to bring my Chlorine down to 1 in order for the Sequestering agent to bind properly. Do you still think I should do this? Mbar - what are you thoughts on the vac/refill/sequester? Should I wait till my fight is over?

    Do not bring your chlorine down to add the sequestering agent. Since you held the chlorine overnight, I would keep the chlorine up there for another day. After that if there is no improvement in the water clarity, I would use a clarifer, or floc. Let the water circulate for a while, then shut the filter off overnight. Then vacuum to waste. You can add the sequestering agent with the chlorine high.

    I just checked my chlorine and it dramatically dropped.

    FC - 12

    **The clarity on my water has changed a bit. The water almost looks a little purple/lavender. It could be because of the Blue Blow Up ring on the top of the pool. It appears like I can see a litt further down in the water though, I can vaguely see an additional step in the water. Could this actually be working.

    I'm going to bring the chlorine back up again.

    **Water Clarity got a little worse, Water still has a purple haze. Could this be Jimmy? :-) (trying to keep a sense of humur).

    I'm going to add the following clarifer. HTH Super Concentrated Clarifier, product does not contain alum.
