    What is this red dirt?

    Maybe a bit of pollen for sure but this has been pretty constant since the storms that blew in a few weeks ago from West Texas. I didn't realize the poor quality of the pictures I uploaded until now but it's pretty red. Having lived in West Texas for 7 years before moving back to DFW in 2004, I...

    What is this red dirt?

    Hello TFP peeps! Been a member of this site since 2022 I believe and have always valued the feedback. It’s Spring time and I’m in North Texas. We have had a few dust storms from West Texas blown into our area in the past month or so and I’d like to think that the red looking dirt in my pool is...

    Frustrating SLAM...

    @duraleigh and @newdude, thank you and that makes me feel better! I just don’t think there’s algae in this pool at all…just dirt. I barely got anything nasty looking out of the filter when I cleaned it last night. This gives me hope!

    Frustrating SLAM...

    Thanks for the reply @duraleigh! I'll post the pics off my phone in the next post. Yes, water runs off our grass, onto the concrete deck, and into the pool. A normal rain typically doesn't do it as bad but the rain we had day after day was terrible.

    Frustrating SLAM...

    With all the crazy back to back storms and high winds Texas had recently, our pool ended up looking like a cloudy mess. I started the SLAM a week ago tomorrow. My CYA at that time was 60 so my SLAM level was 24. It's less cloudy overall but still can't see the bottom. I've cleaned the filter...
