As I posted here, the once sparkling pool turned to murky green in a matter of days. I was hoping that it wasn't the "laterals" in the sand filter, but I think it is. I tried to vacuum up the sand while watching the output. Sure enough, as I vacuumed, sand came spitting out of the output about as fast as the vacuum sucked it in. So, I shut off the pump and put the cover back on the pool. The filter has been draining for the last several hours. It will now have to be taken apart and the sand removed. Then, I will have to remove the assembly that the laterals are connected to and check them for any cracks. Then, when everything is fixed, it's back to square one. Shocking, algaecide, vacuuming, clarifier, etc. Hopefully, I can get this done before it starts to get really hot.
