I was out of town for about two weeks and couldn't attend to the pool. When I went to clean it today it had a good amount of leaves and sand/dirt/<something like that> spread out around the bottom. I vacummed and got the leaves out and nothing is on the bottom anymore but the water is definitely not as clear as it was before. I got the water tested as local pool place and all the chemicals are reasonable:
alkalnity: 125
pH: 7.8
calcium: 275
stablizlier: 62
cholorine: 2.1
salt: 2800 (but the swg says 3300)
So my question is: what is the best course of action to get the water as clean as before? I have some of the "ultra bright water" stuff and I also have DE. I have used DE in the past, and from what I understand it is meant to help the filter get small particles it wouldn't otherwise get, which makes me think it get any excess dirt/sand, but not sure if I am thinking on that right..
