This is my first year with the pool. Last year the water was new.
This year I had a pretty decent amount green on the bottom floor.
I got my PH down to 7.2 and started shocking (10ppm currently.)
Anyway, my starting point of my filter (60 sqft Pentair DE) is 17psi. It will quickly climb up to 32psi with in 2 hours or so and I clean it. I've been doing this for 2 days straight and it's getting old. I should also note that I have 3 skimmers that are covered in stockings. I should also note that I don't even have a charge on my DE filter.
Is this normal? Is there an end in sight?
