Thanks Richard! Any idea on what would be causing the vinyl liner to discolor. Or how to clean it up?

I haven't yet, but I did add some after each backwash last year. Are you thinking the dullness is just tiny dirt floaters passing through the sand filter? Because the pool is vacuumed in those pics.

I started using the TFP method 2 years ago when my pool suddenly turned green and enjoyed a TFP pool all last summer. I've had the pool open about a week and the water just seems dull to me. Please see the attached pictures. My water chemistry is as follows: FC - 5.6 CC - .4 PH - 7.6 TA -...

I suspect it is the center riser pipe on the lateral assembly. We had to buy a new multiport valve last spring due to leaking, and the center riser didn't quite fit tight into the new multiport as it had in the old multiport. Pool store told us it would be fine (imagine that). From what I...

I passed the OCLT test, lost .8 FC and CC held steady at .4. I added 4 cups of DE last night, and overnight the PSI only raised .5. I guess this weekend I will tear the filter down and see what's going on. Should I continue to hold the FC at SLAM until I get the filter working properly?

I do run the filter 24/7. I have not backwashed since I started the SLAM because the PSI has not risen 20% from it's normal PSI. I will perform the OCLT tonight and report back in the morning. I'm guessing that if the OCLT is successful I should start looking at the filter?

Thanks jblizzle. I have not tried the OCLT, I thought the pool should be clear before performing that. I will try that tonight. I replaced the sand in the filter at the end of the last year when I had to replace the filter tank (don't ask lol). I did not deep clean the sand when I opened...

Long story short, I found this site a few weeks ago after fighting on-again, off-again green/cloudy pool water all summer long. I've read through the other threads that dealt with the same topic and thought I understood what needed to happen. I bought the Taylor K-2006 test kit with the Speed...
