My yard / pool flooded Sunday night and must have gotten a lot of dirt and sediment into it because it turn completely brown and you can’t see more than a 12”. Been shocking it and running the filter constantly just incase algae started developing from the sediment but I have seen no improvement at all in the water clarity in 2-3 days. I was planning to wait it out and let the filter does it’s thing but the wife is ready to get the kids out the house and wants me to speed the process up. Bought some floc, read the instructions and understand it’s not what you recommend but seems like the only way to speed up the process. Going to recirculate, let it settle and vacuum to waste. One things that is confusing me that I need help understanding is why my filter pressure isn’t increasing and needing to be backwashed over the last 2 days. My clean filter pressure is usually 14 and it will start to rise normally and I know it’s time to backwash. The past few days, with all the sediment and cloudiness, I assumed it would rise after a few hours but it hasn’t. Do y’all think something is wrong with my filter?
