I'm sure this topic has been covered in the past, but I can't seem to find it (the search words are too common :? )
After backwashing a bunch of extra water from our pool, I went to put in some more DE. I've never had any problems with DE getting back into the pool water, but today the water got cloudy right after adding the DE to the filter.
My question is: could this problem be caused by cold weather? And can it be fixed easily by talking the top of the filter off, and replacing it? Or is it more likely that one of the filter panels has a hole in it? I really don't want to mess with the filter right now, since it's still freezing. Is it okay to just leave it as is, and try to fix it once it gets warmer? What damage can DE in your pool water do?
Thanks!!
