Hello all,
Finally got my sand filter, SWG and heat pump all hooked up for the last few weeks of the season. I'm using Zeobrite in a 2650 intex sand filtration system(could not find silica sand so had to get the Zeobrite). Prior to installing all of this I was using the regular little Intex cartridge filter that comes with the pool, and the SWG, and my water was brilliantly clear. After hooking up the new sand filter, there is cloudiness in the pool. It looks like sand dust perhaps. I am thinking that maybe I did not backwash enough. Is there any way to get this out of the pool. It's not terrible, but if it was the first of the season I would want it out. If I can't get it out without draining I'll leave it as is because there is only a few weeks left. Thanks for any advice.
