Hi,
*** Changed sand to start this year***I have been stumped..HAve a green *dust on bottom of pool. I have tried vacum to waste, and that helps for abit. Sunday here (zip 61822) lots rain, vacum again to waste.brushed a lot
Before adding pressure was 15...Ive added DE 1/2 cup to start. Reading went to 18 or so and return flow went way down and skimmer basket floating ( no suction) I backwashed and wattched water clearity until clean + some. As soon as I return to filter with increase flow... the jet starts out with that green mist. The sand, is it not catching the small particles?
Question: Do I proceed with floc alone or do I use algaecide first? Or a combo of both.
As always the info on here is soooo helpful. Just can not seem to get this figured out...
