Hi, I have searched the forum and read similar articles, but haven't found the answer to this. I noticed the other day that there was a chalky residue the sides of my white fiberglass pool. When you rub your hand over it, it stirs up in to a milky cloud. It is very fine, you can't really feel it with your hand. I gave it a very good brushing two days ago, and the pool is now a little cloudy, but there is no longer any residue on the sides. All the other numbers are in line with recommendations on here. I may just be impatient, but i let the filter run over night and it hasn't cleared up. I have cleaned the cartridge a few times, and it appears that it is catching some of the particles as its milky colored water when i rinse it, but, i was hoping it would have cleared faster (back to my impatience) . Should I just keep at it, or is there a way to help my cartridge filter catch finer particles?

. The only other thing I can think of that would cause some white residue would be dead algae, but I would think that should fall to the floor and you would have had to do a pretty big SLAM recently for that. I'm currently removing some tough scale from my shell and it's exactly as you described, with the exception of rubbing by hand. I'm using wet/dry sandpaper. :grrrr: If it is calcium dust of some type, it will take a lot of filtering. My water is clouding-up very fast when I work on it and it takes several rinses for my small single cartridge filter. Eventually it will all get removed, but could take a while.
