Pool problems on startup

[stma]

Ben and Mom: Thanks as always ! Yes, this has been nothing short of a night mare this season.... Almost appears as a TDS issue that demands replacement of the water altogether.... Obviously not wanting to dump 6600 gallons down my driveway, and an alternative to your "Alternative Approach," Could i attempt the cup of DE through the skimmer? Or is that just a pipe dream at this point...?

I'm not sure it will solve the problem, but what have you got to lose if you try it?

Adding DE to a Sand Filter

Thanks again Lisa...

It's hard to track two pools in one thread, so I moved these posts out of this thread:

and put them here.
