  1. I have had cloudy water in my intex pool for about two weeks. This comes on the tail of an algea outbreak. My water balance is fine now but I've been working my rear off to try to clear the water...shocking, using water clarifier, etc. I was away on a trip for about a day and a half. I left the pump off. When I came back the water was almost crystal clear!!! I could see that everything had settled to the bottom. I thought great, all I have to do is vacuum it up and I'm good to go...finally. So I begin to vacuum and can see everything blowing right back into the pool from the pump return. And this is just after I changed the filter. So this makes me think the reason the water has been cloudy for so long is that I've just been circulating this junk through my filter over and over. I think the best thing to do would just be to vacuum it "to waste". The problem is, I'm a newbie and I don't know how to do that with my Intex 635 pump. Do I just open the sediment valve and run the pump? Or would putting more clarifier in help this junk to clump up and get stuck in the filter?
