Cloudy Water

I don't think I spelled this out before, but I will now:

+ If the algae & debris doesn't settle after 48 hours with pump off, turn the pump back on -- it's not going to work that way.
+ Do NOT use the PAC (GLB product) until you are (a) able to throttle the flow OR (b) have a way (valve?) to throttle flow now. Do NOT push the PAC floc through the filter; that will make things worse.
+ If and when you have no more green ANYWHERE in the pool, you can let your chlorine levels drop to those matching your CYA level -- see the Best Guess chart in my signature for details.

Okay -

Will turn pump back on and continue on with DE in the filter.
Will let FC go back down to normal level as there is no green anywhere in pool.

As for PAC, can I use it when I have my lower HP pump going and running on low or do I also need an additional way to slow down flow? Here is my new pump info: Pentair Optiflow 1 HP two-speed, model number 340071
