To aide in clearing your pool, you may also want to consider using a skimmer sock to help catch particles before they get to the filter. I have been amazed at the gunk it catches, and continues to catch, in my crystal clear pool.

You can purchase these skimmers socks at WalMart (package of 3 for about $5). However, not all WalMart carries them. I have 3 WalMarts in my area, and only the Super WalMart has them, which coincidentally has the better stocked pool department.

Good luck.
