@robbym70: Thanks for the 'attaboy'!

@dimpledn: I'm uncomfortable with how long it took your pool to clear. Granted, some things were going wrong when you first tried. But I'm still suspicious of your sand filter. If you get a chance to get a bag of real filter sand, do so, and set it aside. The first time you open your filter after that, compare the filter sand to what you have . . . and see if you need to replace, or add, sand.
