Yes, try the skimmer sock and keep hammering it with bleach. Also, you don't need to backwash every day. It is best if you don't. The rule is to backwash whenever your filter pressure rises 8-10 psi over clean filter pressure.

Re: Green & Cloudy Water
I didn't know that about backwashing, Watermom. Thank you for your help and I'll just keep at it with the bleach and will add the skimmer sock. I'll let you know when it's sparkling in the sun. :-)

Just to add to what Watermom said, a dirty filter will actually filter water better than a clean one--less space for junk to get through....
