I've been a follower of the TFP method for years, maintaining my pool with no real issues.....so far. Last week we got historic flooding and my backyard turned into one GIANT swimming pool. The flood took out my pump and dumped tons of runoff water/debris into the pool. I got the pump replaced on Saturday (4 days ago) and have manually vacuumed out all of the debris. However, after 4 days of continuous cleaning, including cleaning the filters daily, brushing the pool multiple times a day, running my Dolphin and Betta skimmer 24/7 my pool remains almost just as cloudy as it was before I got the pump replaced! I have been keeping the pool at shock levels of 13-15 FC as I currently have very low CYA, PH is a little high around 7.8-8 and Alk is in the 60-70 range.
My question is, should I look into using a flocculant to get the particles of fine sand/clay out of the water or just continue on with the daily brushing/filter cleaning? I've never had it take this long to clear up a pool before so I am just curious if I just stay the course, and it will work out?
