Cloudy Water After Alum

[BigDave]

None of the @#$%$ has ever been in my pool. Fiber Clear is the weirdest thing this pool has seen. It may be fine as a DE replacement in a DE filter I don't know. In my experience it didn't help in a sand filter and left me with chunks of newspaper delivered in a thunderstorm and run over by the car. Perhaps it is incompatible with the DHMO that I use in excess.

Sorry, wits, for the Hijack. Follow PoolDoc's advice. He will help you. POP is the one thing you can't overuse.

Dave, have you ever added polyquat? It will react much the same with the cellulose fiber.

No, WB, no polyquat. Water, Bleach, Borax, CYA, and a little Baking Soda... people and toys too. Started this pool new last year. The pool store that sold me the Fiber Clear intimated but wouldn't actually say that DE is illegal. I gave it a shot, I expected more. Perhaps my pump was too small to adequately backwash this stuff out of the 27" filter.
