Thanks. I passed a OCLT at 12 so i won’t SLAM and I don’t think it’s algae, but maybe pollen. Can a FC of 12 cause somewhat cloudy water?
Yes, it was off, same with pump. I retested this morning before pump came on and sampled water from same place in the pool. Here is a pic of the deep end with drain and rebel. Perhaps turning off the pump would make a better pic. The light-brownish dust keeps settling on the bottom and steps.
I updated the title but cannot move the forum.
Filter was just cleaned this morning. It's maybe 2 months old. The new tube rises up the center to the top of the fiter. And the plastic circular cover is above it in the center of the filter.
This morning still had brown sediment, mostly in shallow end. Water was still cloudy. My manual vac head is 25 yrs old and does not hold th hose onto it well, so I did not use it. I brushed to the deep end and am running full suction from main drain. Next step may be to SLAM. I’ll decide on that after a couple hours of filtering.
Thanks. The salt was a while back, so that's not the cause. Drat! I only buy Morton or Diamond pool salt. Level has been rising as water level dropped with the heat,sun, and no rain. I may add a couple inches of water. From what I've read here, clearing up cloudiness is the filter's job, and not any chemicals, so I will keep filtering.
