Cloudy Water

[JohnT]

What are you doing as far as vacuuming, brushing and cleaning? Is there anything settling out onto the floor? Any sand on the pool bottom or coming out the backwash hose? (Might indicate filter problems)

Also, make sure you are backwashing often enough. Don't just rely on the gauge, as they sometimes stick. Make sure you have enough flow, and that your skimmer and pump baskets are clean.

There are many, many, many, many reasons why your pool may be cloudy. The floc may or may not be part of your problem. However, without all the test results the posters have been asking for, any advice they give you will be a shot in the dark. We need current test results (numbers, not "good", or "in range", or "normal") for combined chlorine, free chlorine, pH, total alk, Calcium, and CYA. With those numbers, we should be able to give you useful advice that will help you get your pool clear.\
