You can add a small amount of DE filter Aid in your skimmer. It helped clear mine up. And I was also backwashing too often. Sand filters clean better if a little dirty.

What kind of filter do you have?

I've passed all the SLAM tests!!! The water isn't sparkling yet but it's clear. Took a good two weeks but I finally got there. Thanks for your help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I found my problem. The multiplier valve was stuck on waste even though the handle was set to filter. Noticed water in the backwash hose when I was refilling. I think I fixed it. Since the pump and filter wasn't on, a lot of the fine particles settled to the bottom and I could see the...

Thanks for the suggestions. Though I'm concerned I will have a hard time finding the leak if it's not in the plumbing. The water is still cloudy (i was on day 5 of SLAMming) and I can't see the bottom. Plus the pool is installed partially on a slope so all the water will be running down hill...

Houston we have a problem. Came home after a 12 hour shift to fine my pump running dry and the skimmer is bone dry!!! The pool is leaking somewhere!!! Just when I was making progress. First thing I checked was the filter to make sure I hadn't left it in waste, but it's on filter. It just...

No improvement today. Still as cloudy as it was three days. I let my sample of water sit over night in the house to warm up. My cya read 50. Last night after sundown my FC level was 25 and CC 0. This morning my FC held at 25. I had to work today so this evening my FC had dropped to 14 and now a...

I added the stabilizer to bring it up to 40. Adding chlorine to keep it about 16-18 but it seems like the FC is still being used up quickly. The CC is zero though. Im now able to see white powdery areas around the bottom of the pool. Still vacuuming and brushing very day along with back washing...

Pool doing better this morning. Starting to clear up. FC 10 and CC 1. Making progress. Added more chlorine and brushed. Thanks for the help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok folks. I have the CYA in the pool soaking in the socks. Luckily Walmart had some. FC 4.5 CC 1. Poolcalculator.com said add 1 gal 10%. Went ahead and added. Figured it would be best to keep up with trying to get the chlorine at the right level of 12. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay. Do you still put it in the skimmer? The number on the bottle is 16095. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need 50 oz of CYA. When you say sock do you mean a skimmer sock and put it the skimmer?
