Pool Filtration

I think you are set with back washing the pool filtration – What you need to do is get the dirty stuff that is in the pool back to the filter.

Just turning the pump on alone will not get the pool clean. You have to get what is settling at the bottom of the pool swept up and back to the filter somehow. There are three ways to do this: 1) plug in a hose to a suction port (either in the skimmer or a port in the side of the pool) and manually vacuum the bottom of the pool with a cleaning head on the end of a pole. 2) plug a robotic cleaner in and it will do most of the vacuuming for you (robotic cleaners include names like kreepy krauley, navigator, barracuda, shark, etc.) 3) in-floor cleaning heads can do the same job, but it sounds like you don’t have a pool with one of those. If you did, you’d have about 12-18 pop-up heads scattered throughout the bottom of the pool.

The cloudiness in the pool may be caused by a few different things like imbalances in your water chemistry. Typically you will need to add some chemicals and run your filter for a 24 hour period to clear that up.

You may want to think of calling a pool professional to come out just once to help you get started balancing your pool and do an instruct with your equipment. Paying for that will probably save you a bunch of headache and expense in the long run.
