Still very cloudy after running filter 24/7 for 2 1/2 weeks, 3rd year using BBB metho

I THINK it's a bit bit better this morning. It could be psychological! I backwashed it this morning since the return was flowing at a snails pace, although the pressure was still only up 2 psi, and added 1/2 cup of DE to the skimmer again.

I will keep you informed and again thank you so much for taking your time to help me.

You are very welcome. Hopefully it will clear before too long. Keep us posted!

Correct thing to do: even if the pressure hasn't gone up much, when the flow drops way off -- backwash.

Thank you for confirming the back washing. This forum has been so helpful. I'm noticing I can see the bottom now fairly easily, but still a ways to go. Progress is happening!!

Great!

Another update
I can now see the bottom about 1/2 way across the pool. It's a slow slow process, but I'm happy to be making progress. Should I purchase the Polyquat since it's been this long now and
it's still not clear? Anything else I could do to hurry the process? Or should I just be patient and wait. Today marks four weeks of trying to get it clear. I'm trying to be "good".

It won't hurt to use the Polyquat. It may or may not help clear it any faster but worth a try. It will drop your chlorine level so be aware of that. Just raise it back up. No big deal.

Not sure why your thread accidentally got locked but at any rate, I opened it back up.
