Hello,
I'm opening up my pool (all new water), shocked and cleaned for two days, using 12.5% Cl and a little bit of DE two help pull stuff out. Backwashed twice (flush DE/dead stuff). I started adding my CYA (in socks in front of returns) this morning so I can start to SLAM properly. The socks are 1/2 - 2/3 empty (will bring level to 24 or so when all incorporated). My gauge on the sand filter is reading almost 25 (usually 15-17).
Does/can CYA cause an initial spike in pressure that will go down naturally?
Is it possible (I suppose) that there's still some DE in the filter (I backwashed until clear, not 30 seconds)?
Should I worry about leaving my filter at that kind of pressure for a few days so I don't flush all of my CYA?
Thanks!
