we have an 18 foot round above ground pool with a DE filter. We do not have high volume activity so I’m laying low on chemicals trying to learn about the pool as we go.
Unfortunately, we had to have our electrical Jerry rigged for a couple of weeks to get some basic chemicals in to swim. That in itself, has made me a bit nervous about leaving the pump running even though our electrical is finally complete!
To date our pool has been crystal clear but our phosphorus is extremely high (went to two places for water testing) I added a bottle of remover to the skimmer and our pool is now cloudy and the PSI is up each day even with bumping/backwashing if i’m even doing that correctly… I’m nervous because we go away in two days and I don’t wanna leave the pool constantly running. I do have a timer. Suggestions?
