Hi there. We have had our AGP for three weeks, and we are seeing a white flake on the surface that looks like the flakes inside of a snow globe. When you touch them, they fall apart. The walls and floor of the pool are not slimy. We have a sand filter with an in-line chlorinator, and we are using 3" slow dissolve tablets. The pool was filled up with our tap water, and over these past three weeks, we've gotten everything is in balance except our CH, which is still low. We are working on getting it higher a little at a time. In addition to balancing the chemicals, we also added a cap and a half full of Leslie's PoolPerfect PhosFree at the recommendation of our local Leslie's Pools to prevent algae. They've told us to add this amount weekly for maintenance, and they said if the white stuff was an algae, it would sink to the bottom, and then we'd have to vacuum it up. It doesn't' appear that any of the white flakes sank to the bottom, but we vacuumed the next day after adding the PhosFree, but the white flakes are still there. Would anyone know what this is and/or if it's something we should worry about? We feel like new parents again and would appreciate any advice. Thank you. Our current chemical readings are below:
FAC: 2
TAC: 2
CH: 140
CYA: 30
TA: 100
pH: 7.6
