    need advice on sediment at bottom of pool

    I do have a full test kit. I'll retest tomorrow and posr my results but they have always been fine. No chemical issues. Is it possible to have algae that only shows up when I run my filter? If my filter is off the sediment stays gone but if I start my filter it comes back almost immediately.
