I NEED HELP! I'm just going to explain the whole situation. Thank you for reading and PLEASE if you can help I would greatly appreciate it! I'm about to lose my mind!
I bought an 20'x48" Intex from Walmart. Only time the water was clear was when we first filled it. Went on vacation for a week 2 weeks ago and came back to a green pool. Followed aquachem.com on getting rid of the algea....but couldn't get rid of it. Got fed up with the Intex pump and went to the pool store 2 days ago and purchased a SandPRO sand filter/pump. I was so hopeful! Now the pool has a white film on top. It's coming thru the return valve like mad and foaming up. I've backwashed twice this morning and it really foams up coming out of the backwash hose! What is this? How do I get rid of it? Why isn't my sand filter fixing my pool water?????? I super shocked it last night thinking it would solve the problem....nope.
