My pool opens to green every spring. (I have a mesh cover.) I usually SLAM it for about a week (been here at TFP for years) and all is okay, but this year it's been 10 days as of today and very little progress.
Three days ago I started adding DE to my filter and it's helped a little. To try and quantify things by putting numbers on it, 10 being the water at open:
It was stuck at 8 (can't see the outline of the light) until I tried DE, now it's at 6 or 7 (can almost see the light). Normally I can see the light on day 2 or 3 and the bottom on day 4 or 5.
I've always wanted a better filter than sand and pretty much have decided on a cartridge filter - the Pentair CCP520. What should I get for a pump? Do I need a new pump?
By the way, my FC drops only about 2 or 3 in 24 hours - it's been that way since day 5.
