Thanks, going to stop at pool store on way home from work and get "First Aid" I heard it works well. I just remembered taht I had suntan oil on when I was in the pool Wednesday. I was in for about an hour or so vacuuming while walking in the pool...guess that did it. What does this affect...

Thanks, I keep forgetting about the info. I am not able to post results till I get home this evening. Just thought I could get a quick answer on if I need to buy chemicals on the way home 28' above ground, sand filter (Hayward). Not sure what other info you need

Is this a common problem and should I keep trying what I'm doing or let sand filter try to get it out. It...
