I'm trying to clean out some brown silt (possibly dirt) that's on the bottom of my pool.
I'm able to keep the water clear with shock and/or chlorine, algaecide, etc. but I keep getting very fine brown particulates on the bottom of the pool. After a few minutes of me and my kids splashing around the silt gets churned up and makes the water kind of cloudy.
Using an 8 foot x 24 inch Intex Easy Set pool with a dual inlet connected to an Intex C1000 filtration pump.
Can I connect a vaccum to one of the inlets so suck that silt out of the pool?
Any recommendations on getting rid of this stuff would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
My guess would be dead algae. Do you have a recent set of water results you can post, ideally from a good test kit you own?
 
With an 8x24 pool volume, dump it, clean it, refill, and follow the link I posted to your other thread.
