    Filtering the water

    Morning I got my chemical levels and cloudy water all sorted out. Now I would like to move on to a new, not as annoying issue. My water has some fine debris in it that does not seem to get stirred up enough to get to the surface for the skimmer. Thinks like small pieces of dirt, some pine...
