As you may or may not know from reading, I was recently having a problem with my filter PSI increasing dramatically. The water is foggy and although it looks better than it did, we decided to move our pool equipment last weekend and the project is not completed yet.
I have been testing the water religiously with my crappy little tester - chlorine is gone every day (tonight I will remember to add it after dark), Ph has been up and down. I took a water sample to Leslie's after testing it myself today and they pretty much came back with the same results I have which isn't telling me to do anything. I mean, the water is foggy for god's sake! lol
I bit the big one and purchased the TFT100 - should be here by the end of the week. I'm guessing the equipment won't be done until next weekend either. Is there something I can do to keep the water from getting less foggy in the interim? I know there is stuff going on in there I don't want to know about - algae etc - have a feeling I'm going to have a lot catching up to do once the equipment is back in.
Just wanted to vent since it is easier than panicking. No doubt many of you have seen something like this (or worse) before so at least you know what I'm dealing with.
By the way, is there a good recommendation of online vendors of different pool items? I'm probably going to need to replace my vacuum hose since the dog has tracked in so much dirt that my pool sweeper will take 100 years to clean up, as well as a few other standard items. Thanks!
