  1. Don't feel bad, I'm having horrible issues with my pool too, which is why I just joined here. Have you added stabilizer to your pool? Without enough stabilizer, the hot sun (which MD has in spades right now) will burn your chlorine right up. That could be why you can't keep your levels up.
  2. I have a 24'round 52" tall pool. Hayward sand filter, not sure of the model#. Our pool started out dark green and mucky this year, but with tons of shocking we have finally gotten the water mostly clear. Then when we tried to vacumm all the debris from the bottom, it just blew all the dirty water back in the pool. We have checked the laterals and the vertical tube for cracks, we've replaced the sand. The gasket under the multi valve is in perfect condition. The people at our pool place thought we might be low on sand and suggested adding a bag of zeo sand and using a cup of de after each backwash. It didn't help at all.Vacuuming to waste does no good, as it takes too much water out of the pool for the amount of vacuuming I need to do, which with a properly operating system, would take hours to get all the heavy debris. It has been suggested that the filter just can't handle the heavy dirt load, but we've had heavy dirt loads before with no problems. The whole filter system is about 5-6 years old. the only other thing we can do is replace the whole spider lateral, if that is even the problem. I'm desperate for help with this, its the middle of july and we haven't been able to use our pool yet!
