I hope someone can help me. I have had a pool for 2 years now and couldnt get it clean enough to get in last summer or now. I used an algecide and shocked the water due to emount of algae. I scrubbed floor of pool to bring stuff to surface but doesnt help because the filter/;pump looses suction/return. I used a cleaner on the fingers of the filter and it initially worked great. Within a half of day, it lost suction again. I keep unplugging the filter to let the D.E drain out and it works good again for a little bit. I know I shouldnt have to drain the DE several times a day. What am I doing wrond. Iknow for a fact it is not the pump. (replaced it). I also cant vaccuum for more than a minute. I am DESPERATE! The water is cloudy currently but overall looking better than a few days ago. What shuld I do for the filter and to clear the water up? vaccuum? PLEASE HELP ME! My 2 kids are dying to swim ( have been since last summer!)
