Hello. I am a second-time poster. There is always a white sediment in the bottom of my pool. It kicks up when the sweeper is running and makes the water more mirky. This is what I have done over the course of 18 months to no avail:

Replaced the original stainless steel DE filter with a used Hayward DE7220 filter and got rid of the backflush valve.
Replaced the grids to my Hayward DE7220 DE filter.
Replaced the grids again with more expensive grids.
Replaced the DE filter with a Hayward W3C5030 cartridge filter. Then, drained the pool, flushed pipes and refilled pool.

Still, there is quite bit of white sediment, very visible at the bottom of the pool in the morning.

I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks.

How are you testing your pool water chemistry? (what kit are you using?)
Post a full set of results...FC, CC, pH, TA, CH, CYA, Salt and pool water temp.
Maybe post pics of the sediment.
Can you collect some of the sediment and pour a drop of muriatic acid on the sediment. Does it fizz/bubble?

Thank you. I will have it tested by our local shop and report.

You need your own test kit. Link-->Test Kits Compared

Pool Store testing is notoriously wrong. As a result, we need results from your test kit to give you help. Why? Because the store testing is inaccurate, and we can do more harm than good. A proper test kit will save you LOTS of money in the long run.
