My filter got scared when the service guy came by and started working properly without him having to do anything.

A pool store told me that new California (Bay Area) code says that all pools must have anti vortex, anti hair drain covers on. If I don't install one then a building inspector can shut down my pool and not approve any new construction occuring at the time even if the new construction has...

well my water is not green or has any indication of green tint. It is blue and almost clear. Pentair service is coming next week, I will let you guys know what they say about the filter.

done

yes, I can see the spa cloud up when I start vacuuming since it is closest to the filter. So do you guys have any suggestions as to what else might be wrong with the filter.

okay I will add more chlorine to get it up from 10 to 25ppm, but if the pool was clear (i could see the bottom very clearly but I could still tell the water was a little hazy) why would it only cloud up during vacuuming.

I adjusted the chlorine to a maintenance level of 10pm. The water did clear up a little, still a little hazy. However when I vacuumed the dirt off the bottom of the pool, I again ran into the same problem. The pool and spa began to cloud up. There is deffinetly something wrong with filter...

thanks waterbear, I use the liquid chlorine from Home Depot, so to get the FC that high I assume I am going to have to throw in a few gallons of the chlorine correct?

i missread the CYA test, it should be over 100ppm sorry

forgot to say: Pool is 25K gal, with an addtional spa and water slide. Pool is a cement/plaster. Have a 320sq Clean and CLear filter, 1.5hp Whisperflo pump, 400K BTU Hayward Lo Nox Heater.

Here are my test results FC = 1ppm CC = 0.5ppm TC = 1.5ppm pH = 7.5 T/A = 150ppm CH = 300ppm CYA = 0 Temp = around 65 (didn't really measure, just read off the heater) I use liquid chlorine once a week, and have those 3" tablets floating around the pool (2 floats with 2 tablets each). I want...

just bought the test kit, will post results as soon as kit arrives.

A few months ago I installed a Pentair WhisperFlo 1.5hp pump and a Pentair Clean and Clear 420sq fitler. My pool water remains cloudy even though I have made sure the water chemistry is just right. The only thing that is high is something that begins with a "C" and can only be removed by...

I just checked the owners manual a little more carefully. On startup you should add .75Lb DE for every 100sqft. Hopefully this will help

I just installed a Pentair Clean and Clear 420 filter and it does not seem to be filtering, the water remains cloudy. I opened up the filter and made sure everything was sitting properly. I must admit that the pool is very cloudy since I wasn't able to clean it while I was installing all new...
