    Thx

    Not sure that its a complete deal breaker as of yet as I didn't give it quite enough time to clear up before adding the sand, only 4-6 hours, so I'll mix a batch up in my tote and see if it'll run clear before ditching it. If it looks kinda ok, I'll mix it in with my new salt coming in;)

    I'm the optimist...I think it will clear up once everything gets going...8)
    ..its like everything else..takes time.
    I have always thrown a sock on the output during these times...helps clear things up...jmo

    You could probably literally use a new sock if you rinse it well before putting it in place. I would think a good crew sock could do. Maybe steal one of your wife's nylons to make it work better.
