jeffmarc,

I'm sorry you're not getting much in the way of a response, but there are very, very, very few proponents of Softswim and the other forms of biguanide on this forum. There are many people here who have converted to chlorine because they had endless problems, some similar to what you describe, but basically all have complaints about continually cloudy and unswimmable water. You might take some time and read through the Baq forum and you'll understand why.

I'm not sure what's causing your problem, but I'll hazard a guess that the flocculant you added is at least part of the problem. In a pool with an algae bloom, once you kill the algae off it will take some time for the filter to eliminate the dead algae from the pool. Obviously the worse the algae problem, the longer it takes. Generally, if you start adding flocculant and other stuff to the pool, you end up creating more problems for yourself than if you'll just be patient and give it a few days to clear. Again, I'm speaking for chlorine pools.

My best advice to you right now is just to continue daily brushing and letting the filter run and do its job. If that doesn't help, then you might consider shutting the pump off overnight, letting the stuff settle to the bottom, and then vacuuming to waste.

Sorry I'm not much help.....
