I have been using TFP since buying my house with an in-ground pool four years ago. I check my chem levels several times a week using the TF-100, and have since week 1.
I have to replace my filter cartridge twice a year. The last three times, immediately after inserting a new cartridge, my pool gets cloudy. When I remove and spray off the cartridge, it looks like skim milk washing from it. The cartridge ends also feel a little oily. Only after doing this four or five days in a row does it start to clear up.
I have been using nothing but Pleatco PA90 filters. The last few I got via Amazon.
I know this sounds crazy, but could the new filters be causing this? Are they cheap Chinese counterfeits? Thoughts? Recommendations on another brand that works, but is also cost effective?
