Hello,
I opened my pool on Monday and was treated to a green mess. I brought up my CYA to 30 from 0 and maintained a FC level of 12, checking every 3 hours. After about 24 hours, the pool turned blue, but even now, 6 days later, it is still very cloudy. I have a very oversized DE filter for my pool size, but it jumps from 25 PSI (fresh DE pressure) to 35 in a just under 2 hours. Unfortunately, I have a hard PVC backwash pipe which snapped during the cold winter, so to avoid flooding my equipment pad I have to completely teardown and clean my filter each time. This is becoming unfeasible to do every 2 hours. I can't even vacuum the dirt on my pool floor to waste. Any suggestions? I'd like to clear up the cloudy pool ASAP and am surprised to see no change in cloudiness after 6 days. I am not even losing much FC anymore. Attached is a picture of the water today (the pool is a light gray color). Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks,
Pratik.
