    Is this algae???

    I have considered this possibility. There are 2 things that concern me calling it dirt. First, the pattern of distribution doesnt really change when the pool jets are redirected. I say doesnt really change, but there is a small change so not sure. More concerning is that it really seems to...

    Is this algae???

    Is this algae???
