if you have the time and money...yes! The pool we 'inherited' when we bought our house took LOTS of shock and many hours of vacuuming and filtering (with a couple of tons of DE ;-)

Our local pool store will test your water and recommend certain chemicals (and yes, even sell you some you could probably do without). If you keep the PH adjusted, everything else is cake. I also bought the 3-in-one chlorine/clarifier tabs and that made my job a LOT easier last summer.

you can either wait for the filter to clean it out, or use a floculant to take it to the bottom and then vacuum it to waste.

If you go to any pool and you can smell chlorine than its a dirty pool. The chlorine smell is caused by chloramines which is the waste in the water. A clean pool will have no odor.

What setting do you turn a hayward sand filer series 200 too when vacuuming?

You have two options when vacuuming a pool. If it a normal weekly vacuume you will set your filter valve to the filter position. This will send the water through the filter and back to the pool. Once your done vacuuming, you then backwash and rinse the filter. A good ratio is 3 min to back wash and 30 seconds to rinse. If your pool is extremely dirty like at the begining of the year, You can sometimes set the filter to the waste position. This will bypass the filter and send the water down the backwash line. This lowers the water in the pool. If your pool is extremely dirty and you try to vacuum with it set to filter, the filter will not catch all the dirt and some will end up back in the pool in the form of dirty or cloudy water. As a pool profesional I always strived for clear water first. You can't clean what you can't see.


Why is my Sand filter keeping the water cloudy?

Possibly because you have not backwashed the filter recently or enough. Cloudy water also may indicate Algae growth or pH balance off. Test your chlorine and pH levels and adjust them accordingly, shock the water if necessary and add algaecide.
