Has passed the Overnight FC loss test for 3 days now with no visible change.
Here's the latest from this morning:
FC: 11 (no change from last night, has passed the overnight FC loss test for 3 nights in a row)
CC: .5
pH: 7.8
TA: 90
CH: 630 (this was tested from 8 days ago)
CYA: <20 (also tested from 8 days ago)
Shouldn't the water be sparkling at this point? It is still very cloudy. Is it my CH maybe? I have been scrubbing and vacuuming and the filter has been running 24/7. We were told that since we have a sand filter to only backwash when the psi reading goes up to 30-35. It is hovering at 29 at the moment. I'm afraid we have sand channeling so I'm hesitant to backwash. The last time we did, murky water came back from the returns. The filter is ancient and is probably older than me (and believe me I'm old). We have no idea when the last time the sand was changed or if it has ever been changed. What next?
