The stuff I am able to capture and put into the container ends up settling as dirt/plant debris, however it is suspended in "material" when it is in the pool. I have no water flow in my container which is why I don't think I can replicate the condition outside of the pool. As stated before, if I...

OK sorry for the delay, here is the update; 1) I grabbed a baster and went diving (neighbors must have found it comical diving around the pool with a mask and a turkey baster). I was able to suck up some of the material and have included 2 photos below. The material appeared to be incased in...

I will try and capture some, however when you disturb the material, it vanishes...here are a few more photos. My CH was very low, must have misread the initial test. Once it gets to "normal" I will shock. I did put some Algae killer in today to see if that would help in the interim. Here are...
