    Is it algae?

    Hey Dude, I use a Taylor K2005, so it should be pretty accurate. I seem to remember the "pollen" every spring (this is only my third year with the pool), but this year is extremely bad/green.

    Hello, I’m new to the group and a new pool owner. I’ve quickly engulfed myself in the TFP method. Everything is great, except... There is sand in the bottom of my pool. Decently sized grains. When I vacuum them up, they bypass my cartridge filter somehow and you can literally see them come out...
