You bet. Just keep working it as it sounds to be coming your way. Keep at it and don't let up.
Cloudy Water

Sounds like the sand could be channeled. I suggest you do the deep cleaning of the sand filter that zea3 suggested.
To newbies reading this thread, sometimes clarifier works, often it has no affect. Do not think of it as a "magic bullet" that fixes your pool.
Derekyork's pool may have been cleared by the clarifier or perhaps filtering alone was going to clear it anyway.
Clarifiers are typically not needed in the vast majority of pools and one should not view them as the "thing" that made their pool suddenly become crystal clear.....sometimes "yes" but often "no".

And if I may add, they often can and do make matters worse. In other fields they are never used without isolation testing the product/water first. Not even sometimes.
I was running out of options and believe me I was very apprehensive about adding the clarifier. I did my research on here and saw where people had good results and others not so much. But I also came away with sometimes things do have their uses and it appears this was an occasion that it worked on. After slamming for almost 2 days after I had already passed the overnight test and running the pump 24/7, something had to give.
Just know that you are one of the lucky ones. Also, 2 days is not that long to wait for a clearance following SLAM. Especially with sand.
I started a slam on a Sunday because of some stuff the kept settling on the floor of the pool and pretty clear water (I thought!), had crystal clear water by Thursday passed the OCLT Friday, but kept slamming till the following Wednesday just in case. I didn't want to see that stuff settle on the bottom of my pool ever again!
Anyway my point is that you wouldn't be the first/only one to keep SLAMming after the OCLT! That's what it took for my filter (with the help of daily brushing and a little D.E. ) to get rid of that stuff.

had the original poster been brushing the pool daily to make sure that this cloudiness hasn't deposited onto the floor of the pool in a powdery form?
