Hi everyone!
I had my pool sandblasted by a company to remove all the calcium on the water line. Once they completed the job, they almost emptied the pool and vacuumed most of the sand out, still.
This morning after the pool has been filled up again, I saw that we have this milky look and yes, it’s sand in the water.
I’m not sure if my filter will be able to remove this, but want to know your thoughts!

I added a picture of one of the steps, so you can see the amount of sand that is still in the pool.

I bought the fine filter cartridge for my pool cleaner robot to pick sand up. It does very well. However, I do not think your cloudy water is because of sand. Sand settles out. I suggest a SLAM.

How do you test your water and what are your latest test results?

Thank you! I will test it today and check the TFP table to make sure it’s good.
The reason why I think the cloudiness is related to the sand is because it was pretty clear before agitating the water/bottom.

But you are right, I should test now that is full. Son’s birthday today, so I’m running around getting things ready!
