At startup, even though we fired the pumps up to waste, a bit of nasty green debris oozed backwards out of the pool drains. Now I've got a cloudy greenish pool. I can still see the lane lines at 12', so it's not too bad...
No chemicals except hypochlorite added, feeding appx 50 gpd, free cl2 is getting up towards 10ppm. pH is around 7.4.
We open for the weekend in three days. My filter sand (9 years old) is scheduled to be replaced the following week (10 filters, 650 pounds of #20 silica per...)
Whats my best chance at much clearer water by Saturday? Not real keen on flocculant, no means to vacuum to waste easily. Clarifier? DE into the skimmers? Keep the cl2 up and be patient? My filter pressure did increase a pound overnight, so it's pulling something out...
Can I add DE to a skimmer and expect it to hit all ten filters? Flying blind here...
Help?
