Pathfinder,
You are a Genius.
Yesterday - topped up the pool to as much water as I could put in, added a Floc agent, turned the pool off.
Woke up nice and early this am and Vacuum to waste the hell out of the pool.
Could see the bottom as clear as day btw, the particles all were on the bottom in a light brown cloud like state.
Now just need to get my water level back up - maybe do another vacuum when I get home from work, power the pool back on and get make sure my levels are back to normal.
I really hope this is it - I really can't tell you how frustrating this has been for me, 2 months I have had this pool on. I was really close to throwing in the towl.
I have never had to do this - and I believe I am in my 5th year with this pool. What causes this?
My pool is in a nasty location - it does see more shade then sunlight, and was almost black green when I did open this year.
Oli~
