Never had a problem with cloudy water since I converted from Bacquacil (2017). This past Sunday I noticed, after some rain, the pool bottom was rather dirty. I brushed it and created a cloudy mess. On Monday, after reading multiple TFP posts I bought some DE for my sand filter. I did an OCLT test both on Tuesday morning and again this morning and passed on both days with no drop in FC and CC at zero. During the day I have been adding DE to my filter after I backwash and I backwash when I see a couple of points increase in my psi. The inflow into my pool is as strong as it normally is and I checked my pump basket to make sure it is clean. This morning I had fairly clear water and could see the bottom of my blue pool liner, but once I started sweeping and running my auto vacuum, it became murky again. Pump is running 24/7. I will be starting my close process after Labor Day, but I realize I need to take care of this before I close. The attached picture was taken a few minutes ago and shows the cloudy water when my pool vacuum is running
My info this morning was:
FC = 7 (I normally keep this around 5 but have bumped it up the past couple of days)
CC = 0
CYA = ~ 37
pH = 7.5
Is this something that will take awhile to clear and I just need to continue with what I have been doing?
Is this safe for my grandchildren to swim in? We have been reaching heat index’s of >105 the past several days and they have been enjoying the pool all summer, but I didn’t want to take any chances with them.
Thanks!
