Just some background:
Hi I'm new here and new to pool care. I've had someone taking care of the pool since I've had it. He seemed a little unreliable as of late and the pool starting turning green right as summer was coming in. He spent about two months trying to fix it then basically ghosted me.
I had someone else come to try and fix it and I ultimately paid him a good amount of money without getting the desired results.
I decided at that point to try and fix it on my own. I was able to balance the pool and getting it blue, but it was still very cloudy.
I have a cartridge filter and can't vacuum to waste. Whenever I tried to vacuum, white clouds would poof up and then immediately be shot back through the jets, as if the filter isn't catching any of it. When the water settles it will settle like tissue paper but immediately cloud up into a million particles when disturbed
Do I have to drain the pool this point to get rid of it?
