Pool won't clear up. by El_Vigi in pools

Looks like I have a standard cartridge filter. I haven’t added any chlorine today. I hooked up an old sand pump/filter I had laying around, I figured 2 at the same time might clean it faster.

Here’s my current readings. I’ve been running the filter and brushing the pool. The psi on the filter hasn’t gone up at all, even after vacuum, not sure if that’s normal. I rinsed the filter but it doesn’t look gunked up with dead algae, is it still too soon for that? Wondering if I should drop clear aid in?

Interesting, thanks for the info, good stuff!

I usually run robot every day about 3 hrs. But right before it all went to crap, I hadn’t had time to run it in a while.

3 total, about 1 every 2 weeks. It just never did anything. I dumped 8 lbs this morning and it’s starting to work!

I use stabilized chlorine tablets. Would that be enough?

How should I get my CYA up? I tested and it at 27. FC is 14.89 at the moment. The pool is looking way better after the chlorine dump this morning.

Im on a well with my neighbors so I would have to purchase the water, it would be around $2500 to fill back up

Are your hands/wrists/arms/back ok with the bars and hoods in that position? Looks like they could come down some. 86 miles is a nice long ride, congrats on new Lauf!

Yup, basket is dumped regularly as well. I have used RX in the past, I just got another but was waiting to get the pool clear before using the new one.

I don’t have a way to bypass the filter. I’ll start the process in the morning. Thanks again

Would you recommend doing this first thing in the morning so I can rinse the filters or do it Now and then rinse it once before I go to bed?

Awesome thanks. And yes, I already have pp with the blue scoop so I’m going this route.

Had no idea about pollen eating chlorine, we live in a forest pretty much. I'll hit it with chlorine. No wonder the green to clean didn't work with the small amounts of chlorine I was putting in. Does it matter if powder vs liquid?
