Our pool is 35,000 gallon vinyl liner salt water pool with DE filter - we have had it for 12 years and have not had any issues upon opening until this year - Pool was opened over a week ago - we ran the filter for 24 hours for 5 days - the brown/green water from the winter was the correct "pool blue" color within 2 days but it is very cloudy and it hasn't improved
We were told our DE filter cartridge needed to be replaced so we ordered a new one from Pentair and it was installed upon opening. We actually anticipated the water clearing up faster this year than ever before due to the new cartridge.
Took sample in to pool store and they advised to raise the alkalinity and add salt. We did both. Added a bottle of clarifier. Not a single change. Yesterday morning added a bottle of flocculant - ran in recycle mode for 2 hours and then shut down completely - woke up this morning expecting so see some improvement but nothing.
Now what do we do??
