Hello,
I've recent swapped from a DE filter, back to my old sand filter last week. When I got everything back going, the water was a blue-greenish color. I dumped 1 1/2 cases of Chlorine in the water, plus 3 bags of the calcium chloride in, and some algaecide. I also vacuumed and brushed the walls of the pool multiple times. The water is now blue, but it has a hazy, kind of milky cloudy look to it. You can barely see the bottom of the shallow end, and not at all in the deep end. I've been backwashing it multiple times a day, as the filter pressure has been going from 10 psi to 19-20. I think I killed all of the algae when I vacuumed and shocked it, but again, I can't see the bottom. Do I just need to let the filter keep working, or is something else going on here?
FC: 5.0 PPM
PH 7.4
Alkalinity: 100 PPM
CYA: 25 PPM
