I'll find a new filter. In the mean time, any other suggestions. What's strange is I had this same setup last year, and was able to go from green water to crystal clear water with no problems.

I had never thought about the pump being over powered or the filter being too small... How do I add a large cartridge? Would adding DE to the filtert help? Fot the OCLT, I brought the FC up to 23 last night and this morning it was still 22, and the CC went from .5 to 0. But the water is still...

My sand filter is a Pentair SD-40 19'' that holds 150 lbs, and I'm using both BBB and a SWG. I haven't replaced the sand on it this year but I did last summer. I was keeping my FC between 3-5 based on the "Recommended Levels" chart on the pool school but if you feel I need to bump it up I can. I...

I figured I needed to bring the FC up to at least 28 so I followed the pool calculator and it told me around 540 oz of clorox so that's what i put in there but the FC only went up to around 3 and that's with the SWG on. I'll keep adding and see what happens.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm new to TFB and new to owning a pool. I bought a house with a 10000 gallon above ground pool that's been a nightmare. The water was clear for short time when I first moved in but then went on vacation for a week and when I came back it was swamp green...
