I just did a pretty successful vac, got almost all the junk out without stirring it up, now to wait about an hour to get my water level back up. I can see clumps of site goop in the water that hasn't settled, I'm going to filter mode with the DE and see if it will filter.

did you attempt vacuuming through the filter ?

Not yet, the debri field was way to big lol, I started out with water level above skimmer and took it down to bottom of skimmer. I think I got the majority of it on vac to waste. From this point on any vacuuming I will try thru filter. I hope to be swimming this afternoon or tomorrow. I read somewhere that high chlorine level and brushing can help lift leaf stains, I have some of that

Got the filter cycle going with the DE, seems to be working, the pressure is climbing much faster than before I used floc, gonna sit by the pool all day and see what happens

OOPS! I didn't go back and read the thread to see where you were in your process. Sorry! (Maybe you can stand beside your pool and close your eyes and pretend that you are swimming!
