Backpressure problem

[Airick]

thanks for the help. it takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes to go back to 30 once i get it dropped.if i quick backwash i can get it to last 30 minutes then back to 30psi and i start the cycle all over again. I'll just keep at it and hopefully as the water clears it will go longer and longer. i guess im jumping the gun and getting impatient. this thing was a real swamp. dead lizards,pidgeons,feathers, leaves,weeds,newspapers,cans,cigarette butts,a dora the explorer doll,the kitchen sink! you name it it was in there. i even found my old pole with my brush at the bottom. LOL

Wow...didn't realize it was that bad. A few years ago I opened late and I thought mine was a swamp. Pea green but cleared in less than a week. Yours sounds really gross. Yes, all yours should need is patience and a load of chlorine.

Gotta hate it when you find dead dora the explorers in the pool
