Keep up the work like the others have said. I also inherited a swamp in 2012, and it took my sand filter a long time to clean up the mess. Like the others have said, checking the sand to ensure it's ok will likely help, and replacement may be necessary. Here is some inspiration from my 2012...

Hello TFP, looking for a recommendation on a robot cleaner for under $1000 Canadian Rubles. The pool store recommended the PCX 852, but I can't find any reviews on it. It comes in at $999.99. of course when I ask the pool store for under $1000 they go right for the max budget! It looks like the...

Hey guys back for Season 2 of BBB. Under the cover the pool is blue and clear:) I'm opening this weekend and I have plumbing antifreeze in my return lines and pump basket, should I make an attempt to remove all of that before I start the pump back up for the season or is it fine to just let it...

I haven't taken a picture in a couple of days, but it looks even better now! Thanks again guys, I will be using BBB exclusively from now on! Take that pool store!
