How much de powder for 17000 gallon pool?
You add diatomaceous earth (de) powder to a pool based on the size of the filter. Most pool filters have a plate on the side telling you how much de powder you need to add. If your filter does not have such a plate, the general formula is that you add 1 lb. of de powder for every 10 sq. ft. of filter area. That is, you need to measure the length, width, of your filter, taking the pleats into account, and use the formula "sq. ft. = length x width" to determine the square footage of your filter.

Pool deck is stamp touchup colored powder and some got in pool water and made it cloudy how can you clean out of pool?
I would read the ingredient list on the package and find out if there are poisons in the powder and if so I would drain the pool and clean all the surfaces and then refill. If there are no poisons in the powder then putting a soft cloth over the skimmer (make sure water still passes through) will collect the particles, cleaning all the surfaces in the pool with some clothes will help to reduce the particles.

Check the grid and manifolds for holes or cracks.
