The last few, and it looks way better than this last shot now (which was taking in the rain). It's crystal clear! THANK YOU.

Here are some more.

I have pictures, finally! I didn't have a good "before" image but you can see how the water looks before (clear) and how it's changing as we pour in the bleach. It was an instant reaction! Then we had really green, cloudy water. Then disgusting tan/brown foamy Crud, then green water, then...

Thanks for clarifying! And oy, that sucks. It sounds like extra dirty work and that darn sand is brand new, put in right before we converted!

frustratedpoolmom: Thank you for the info! I don't know if it makes sense quite yet, but as I go along things are getting easier to understand. About the changing the sand, our sand is brand new...what is accomplished by changing it after a conversion like this?

WE HAVE BLUE! Yesterday, we definitely saw a major improvement. The water is now as clear as it was before we started this conversion, the robot is cleaning up some debris on the bottom, there is only a bit of sludge to brush off from the water line...but the water is clear and holding...

Oh, and yes, backwashing several times a day is definitely helping!
