Hi,
I just replaced my DE filter with the biggest Cartridge filter on the market (Hayward SwimClear C7030). 725 sq. feet.
My pool guy replaced it on Tuesday morning, and as of today (after about 90 of hours of filtering), the pool is still the same as it was on Tuesday, i.e. a little cloudy. I can see the bottom at the deep end, but it's not crystal clear, and my old filter would clean that easily overnight, even though it was much smaller.
My chemistry is OK. My chlorine was around 5 on Wednesday night, and since it was raining I shocked it, and it was still around 12.5 this Saturday morning, which indicates that I don't have algae problem.
What could possibly have gone wrong with the filter?
Thanks,
M.
