how efficient are filters?
i transferred my sand filter into a Zeolite media to improve the filtering capabilities. The improvements are somewhat better but not 100%. If i leave the pool alone, i get lots of fine green/yellow stuff to sweep off the bottom of the pool somewhow the vacuum just keeps missing.
I never get CC's to signify algae or the like stating the water is cloudy. this is using a deditated DPD test kit.
in 4 hours i get a complete pool turn over so why shouldnt my zeolite be able to capture dead or alive ( well they are dead you can be assure of that) particles? its been 3 weeks and im still sweeping green /yellow particles at the bottom of the pool.
does it really need to have a chemical to pick all that debris off the floor, despite the type of media i use for filtering media?
2) the next biggest question , Shocking! : if there i algae , does a DPT test kit register it as Combine Clorine??? Even if you scrape or brush like heck the pool ???
3) when Shocking, will the chlorine eventually oxidize the dead algae (or the like i.e. pollen) ?
bottom line: if a sand or zeolite filter cant keep up or filter out pollen or dead algae fast enough?....?
7,500 gallon pool, 1/2 , Hayward S166T , new Zeolite , spider gasket ok, laterals ok, water chemistry ok .
so what gives????
