DO I look psychic??

Well water BLOWS! Stained the tile in the shower, the jacuzzi and everything else it touched. Landlord got us on city water, but the stench of sulfur still lingers in the pipes...nasty stuff. If she's using water conditioners could the levels be off? (that's assuming she has to top the water off occasionally)

nope, never has to be topped off. It stays pretty level (after a few good rainstorms it has to be drained actually).

Um, you're using the wrong kind of well water. Gotta get the good stuff: underground spring with no sulfur in the area. Poland Spring from the tap.

Of course, my well is almost 200 feet deep because I'm on a hill (THAT wasn't cheap either

)

how long are you running the filter? cant tell from the picture that well but does it have alot of stuff floating in the water if you look in it? Does the filter have a pressure gauge and is it showing any pressure? if not the filter you have been preesure washing may have a hole in it letting the dirty un filtered water just flow back to the pool water will follow the easies route. if all of this is good, then you need to add some clarifier to the water, it will adhere to the particle making them large engough for the filter to grab them?

nope, nothing floating in the water. Pressure is around 15 psi when the pump is in high speed (which is normal when the filter is clean on this particular setup). It's definitely filtering out things like pollen and stuff cuz it was dirty when I pulled it out to clean it.

I did throw some clarifier in there yesterday so we'll see what happens.

Apparently, there are several other people where I work having the exact same problem and they narrowed it down to the large amount of rainfall and a higher than normal pollen count.

I'm gonna let it run for a few days and bring another sample down to the pool place to see what they say. After that, to hell with it: I'm fine swimming in cloudy water.

I scoop out the evidence before I leave, but the bacteria remain.

as long as your clorine level is good your safe to swim in it, it just looks like crap lol, if it is pollen then the clarifer will help to pull it out of the water. Let the filter run just watch the gauge as it will start to climb and the rate of flow the pump is pushing back to the pool will decrease as the pollen or whatever is in the water gets trapped in the filter.

I know a kid who dumped in the school pool once.
