I'll check. Again, I had the same setup for ten plus years w/o incident. The run times were 6 hrs max. This problem began last year right after the liner/sand change. I did run the pump for fifteen(15) consecutive days earlier this season with a very, very slow clear up. Only after the DE...

Pump runs 8hr/day. Four in the morning, the rest in the evening.

It seems like the sand alone isn't doing the job. Once I add DE, clarity starts to come back.

I keep it on the higher side of the 5-9 range. 7-9. It dropped to a three once, but it was in the middle of this season long problem. I use bleach exclusively, except when I'm out of town. I drop a 3" trichlor in the skimmer which keeps it up while I'm gone

FAS-6 CC-0 TA-100 pH-7.5 CYA-60 Temp80* Overnight test is unchanged, it's been at 0-.5 since I got the TFT some weeks back. Overnight test is done weekly. I got the sand at a local pool store, don't remember the sands "brand" name. Wonder if it was a bad batch.

Ever since I replaced liner/sand in the middle of last season, water clarity has been a problem. Ten years prior, no issues. Nothing else has changed, except this year I purchased a TFT kit. All the numbers are within range. The water slowly turns a greenish/yellow(cc is zero). All other numbers...

From 180 to 90? I just lowered pH today AFTER the latest readings. The past three weeks no one has been in the pool because of this problem. The backfill water added was about 2". Will it get lowered that much? Thanx

*Update* 80* FC 8.0 CC 0 pH 8.0 TA 90 CYA 70 Added sodium bisulfate for pH. About 90% better. Still a little hazy. Adding DE once a day, after two hrs pressure goes up so I backwash and a lot of dirty water comes out. Backwash w/o DE, not so much. I noticed pH went up and TA was cut in half...

Yeah sorry, 8 is when pump is off. So 24 is my normal psi. I'm thinking 24-8=16. 16 is the "true" number?

Took filter completely apart. cleaned rinsed sand. There wasnt that much debris, but rinse was green. Found crack in center pipe where it is seated on the lateral assembly. Replaced with schedule 26 PVC, identical in o.d. and the i.d. eyeballs the same. W/o my micrometer on hand, I can be for...

Gauge is at 8, so that brings us to 16. 18-19 w/24 hrs of DE

DE was in for about a day before I back washed. I'm back washing everyday. Looked about the same as not having it. Every 24 hrs is a little clearer. Not sure if I should continue the DE. Sand was changed mid season last year. Pressure was fine so I never flushed it. Should I start cleaning sand...

VERY gradual, problem started last Wed or Thurs, at its worst this past Wed.. Tried a little DE one time, pressure only went up 2 psi. Wonder if I should try more with maybe a dose n a half?

Wasn't available for the afternoon shock, however, OCLT was: 11.5- 10:30 pm 10.5- 07:30 am CC-0 TA-100 pH-7.8

OTCL 9.5 last night-8pm 7.5 this morning-8am Stated shock process, 18 ppm now, sunny n hot is the forecast. Should I test through out the day, or wait until later this afternoon?
