Been a lurker for a while now, but confused on getting chemistry right this spring. I switched from the cheepo pump and cartridge filter to a real pump and 250# sand filter this year. 18’ round intex.
I’ve been sustaining slam levels for 7 full days now. On day 2 the water turned blue from green. I’ve been vacuuming and brushing since day 2 as well. I’m no longer getting much of the bottom.
FC is 16 and I’ve kept it there
CC fluctuates from 0.5 to 0.0
CYA is 30, was at 40 before backwashing on day 5
Any ideas? I’m considering DE in the skimmer but somewhat confused as to why the cloudiness hasnt cleared up.
