    Algae in the sand filter- possible solution

    I just realized that I forgot to mention the algae was coming from the returns. I could kill it in the pool and vacuum it all up but I would come back out the next morning and find algae (sometimes it looked dead and sometimes it was still green) spread out where the returns blow.
