Hey guys I'm new here but ive been lurking for a while and learning.
I have a question about debris at the bottom of the pool. When I brush and vacuum it looks like algae. Fine clouds of greenish yellow. It's not bad, but we have had high temperatures here and the water is staying between 85-90 and in full sun all day. No trees. Is this algae? I've shocked the pool a couple times from higher volumes of people and use lately. My initial thought is it could be dirt and oil that the chlorine has killed off and it sank. Right now im brushing, vacuuming, and letting the filter run all day and back washing a few times a day to keep it clear. Any ideas are appreciated.
I have a basic test kit (looking to buy the T-100 when I get some extra cash.)
FC - 3
CC- 0 (or so it appears)
TA- 110 and holding
PH- 7.8 and holding
The pool is a 24' intex with a Hayward V series sand pump and filter combo.
