We had some extremely heavy rains last night. Long story short - a necessary drain near the pool clogged overnight (typically I'm on top of this but got caught by suprise last night - just spent a few hours more permanently addressing that issue).
Woke up this morning to mulch and dirt in the pool. I can see down about 1-2 feet - that's it. Otherwise murky and brown. Got to work right away and cleaned up all floating debris. Scooped the bottom (can't see it) and the bottom debris seems limited and cleanable.
I've got the DE filter working overtime and dumped 4 containers of bleach in to get going.
Problem is my DE - I've changed it once already and it already needs changed again an hour later. (complicated by the fact that my friggin bump stick broke in half as I was bumping it last time - still bumpable but a pain in the you-know-what).
What's the plan here? Just keep at it with the DE filter and go through a ton of DE? Should I use more DE? Less DE? I typically put in about 6.5 scoops.
Thoughts?
