Yep. Same thing happened to me the first time I added DE. I'm actually glad it did, though, because now I know to advise people that this might happen if you add too much too soon. Experience is the best teacher.

I can see the bottom of the pool today. The water is still a little cloudy but much better then it was. I have been adding the DE every time I backwash. I hope to see clear water soon.

Glad to hear progress. Hopefully soon it will be perfectly clear.
Re: My pool looks like a swamp
Well my pool is finally clear. I never had it take this long or be this hard to get my pool clear. Hopefully it will be clear sailing for the rest of the summer. I grew to hate my pool it became a battle an the pool was stating to win. Thanks for all the help and support.

Yay!!!! Finally you win. Now it is time to enjoy it.
BTW --- the pool NEVER gets to win. Patience and time always makes the pool owner win.
