Just to close this thread, the crazy PSI issue dissipated over time, I think it was just the new filter media needing some time to be worked in.

I've been fighting the same problem described by numberonenole, pictures posted are pretty much identical to what I have. My chlorine levels have been 5+ ppm for over 2 weeks, the pool is crystal clear, but that yellow/brown material keeps accumulating in the same places. I've added an algaecide...

Hi Richard320, thanks for the quick reply, that is some insightful commentary! The water was cloudy and blue when I took off the cover on 5/31, way before I added the hardness. The water was going a greenish tint on me until I shocked it on 6/2. It's now a blue color for sure, but still really...
