I live off a gravel road. This dust gets into the pool. Vacuum to sand filter won't work. It goes right through. The only way was buying a Dolphin E10 with ultra fine filter. A "DE" pool filter would probably work. If you have dust there are few ways to remove it. Either you have a ultra fine filter of some kind or siphon it out some how.

That’s the stuff!
It’s basically a lifetime supply lol
I only need a cup or so (dissolved in water) to get a 1psi rise in my 250# filter so do maybe a 1/2 cup & watch your pressure.
I think we have an FTP success!! Changing the sand and a couple rounds of backwashing seemed to do the trick. I do have two trees that blow pollen and debris daily into the pool. Water is super clear and I am so happy!!
THANK YOU to everyone who provided advice and support along the way. I’m very grateful!

Try a Magic eraser or even just a microfiber while your fc is elevated.

Before calling it good be sure you have passed all 3 criteria:
CC is 0.5 or lower;
You pass an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test
AND
The water is clear.
(Crystal Clear w/no algae dead or alive)

We met all those criteria… finally after a month. The big turning point was getting the sand changed & SLAMing to mustard algae levels.Before calling it good be sure you have passed all 3 criteria:

I tried the magic eraser without success. I’m going to try some vitamin C tabs in a sock. Since I WAS on the frogger system, I wonder if it’s mineral staining.

The water is fabulous
The line looks a little yellowy green- possibly organic as its above the normal water line (from when the pool was closed?)- maybe try some diluted bleach with the microfiber/eraser. Definitely give the vitamin C a try too to see if it makes any difference could be a little iron staining mixed in.
