adding regular Clorox bleach 6% since mid-July. I backwashed the filter last Friday - actually the day before the cloudiness appeared. Pool/filter is only 2+ months old - water went into pool Memorial weekend. Got fairly "cursory" backwash instructions from the install guys but they are local so I could have them come back out. I do have the manual and as best I can tell I am following instructions correctly.
Is it possible I'm not running the backwash long enough - I'm waiting until the water clears and then rinsing for 30 seconds after. Any other suggestions. I did use the 3" Wal-Mart brand pucks in an autochlorinator until mid-July - just until my CYA got up to the 40-50 range. The autochlorinator is hard-plumbed in. I still have it "open" with no pucks in - should I set it to 0 (i'm guessing this really doesn't matter since there are no pucks in the chamber) I know my sand filter is a Sta-rite with a 1.5hp pump but couldn't tell you the size etc.
When I vacuum (automatic Lil' Shark) I've been vacuuming to "filter" - should I vacuum to waste??
