Just bought a house that the owners didn't take care of the pool very well. It's 35k gallons with sand filter and SWG (not using yet due to swamp). CYA was below min reading of test, so been working on adding enough CYA to get to 40ppm and using a FC target of 20ppm. SLAMed for 2 days, using 24 gallons of liquid chlorine over those 2 days. Now it's white cloudy, and the pump can only run for 30 mins before filter is completely clogged and practically nothing coming out of jets. Can't run the pump while sleeping cuz of this, and have backwashed enough to see a visible decrease in the water level.
Anyway, first time with a sand filter and first time with water so cloudy that you can't see the 3rd step, so not sure what to do from here.
