    No luck - DH took the filter apart & all look good - sand/zeobright is full.
    14,500 gal ~70's era Gunite bottom/fiberglass sides (w/various coatings over the years). Hayward Sand filter w/ZeoBright + 1HP Hayward Pump, 1 skimmer, 1 jet.

    I don't know what to tell you.

    You could try over-chlorinating, and putting some tablet floaters in the pool, and then turning the pump off for a couple of days, to see if whatever the cloudiness is will settle out. That's the only idea that occurs to me at the moment.

    For what it's worth -- this sort of problem is one of the reasons we're very reluctant to recommend floc products. I don't know that your floc is the problem, but I do know that floc use is a common factor in many of the really puzzling cloudy pool cases.

    What makes it worse is that we have absolutely NO idea what you put in your pool -- with unregulated products, like "floc" and "clarifier", which do not have to specify any of the chemical ingredients, companies can put anything into the product. If you want to tell us the EXACT product and brand name, we *may* be able to find an MSDS sheet that will give us a clue.
