We just got through winning a battle over green Algae. The pool started to turn dark and it clouded a bit. We started hitting it with Chlorine to shock it and now, after about a week, it is just getting crystal clear again. Everytime I turn the pump up to vacuum I get a green cloud of what I think is algae. I backwashed my sand filter once during this process. I suspect the answer is that if I'm fighting algae, I should backwash after each vacuuming of the pool. Am I right in this? Do I have a Sand Filter problem? Below are my essentials as of a few days ago...
FC = 7.5
CC = 0.0
TC = 7.5
CYA = 50
TA = 300 (down form 450, it has been steadily dropping as I keep adding Muratic Acid to keep the pH down)
CH = 270
