    Too much vacuuming

    Hello great pool people. I have a 12000 gal AG pool. I find that my pool needs to be vacuumed every other day. Is this normal? My pool sees a lot of traffic but still, I can't keep up. A lot of fine black dirt (at least what it looks like). And a lot of flies. Any advice would be appreciated
