Our PC dosed the pool w flocc upon opening (out pool i uncovered all winter so full of all sorts of grossness come spring), and not realizing that we had the pump & filter running for a few days. That was mistake #1. Once realized, we turned it off and let sit for 2 days (busy week) at which point my husband vacuumed, but as he's not the usual pool carer in the family, he did NOT vacuum to waste and instead sent everything through the filter. Mistake #2. The pool is still a mess, and after backwashing the pressure still seems to be crazy low (we have the pump running at 2500rpm and while I can see a current running into the skimmers, it's not what we usually see when up that high.) I'm well aware that we're making a mess of things but we aren't sure what to do at this point.
Should we turn the pump off again and let everything settle again ad vacuum to waste a few more times?
Should we RE-floc? We're also in heavy pollen season which is clouding things up as well
Do we need to do anything to the filter after having run floc debris through it several times? The entire things was cleaned in the off season, but I would imagine we really gunked it up already. Would backwashing work or will that only help with the media and not the screens?
Realistically should we call a professional to get this straightened out?
We've been pool owners for 5 yr, and it never seems to be getting any easier.
