Hey everyone.
To give some background when I bought my house previous owner had already setup a bestway pool that came with a flowclear sand filter. Opening this year my slam has taken multiple weeks. Cloudy water just not clearing and I try to brush and vaccum as much as I can. I always thought it was because the sand filter was small but finally broke down and decided instead of buying clarifier I would replace the filter sand. To my surprise what was in my filter looked nothing like the new sand I bought from the pool store. The old sand is much coarser and looks more like aquarium sand. Has anyone seen this before? I was having to backwash multiple times a week before putting the new sand in.
I've seen noticible differences overnight in cloudiness with the new #20 .45-.55 sand from the pool store.
