I feel the same, never seem to go away. some days it's not as bad as others.

the only reason i think mine might be algae or dead algae is because I found and caught at least 4 water boatman bugs while swimming yesterday. I don't see a reason for them to be there if they don't have algae to eat.

That is exactly what mine looks like !

Hey all .. well, I am still kinda struggling with these brownish "dust" spots at the bottom of the pool, mostly in low spots and seams. I feel it's worse when my pool pump runs on high for some reason. When you get close and wave your hand it poofs and vanishes. I am not sure if it's dead algae...

So, yesterday. I vacuumed for 9 hours, 3 hours at a time and cleaning the vacuum filters in between. Throughout the day while it was running, I went out and brushed wherever I see these spots appear (mostly low spots at the bottom). Later I've noticed that there was a thin layer that formed on...

I wouldn't say I see all three, maybe a bit of brown/dark green. When I brush the bottom I can see some "dust" trailing behind the brush. I just brushed, vacuum is running, will do an OCLT tonight and report my findings tomorrow morning. Thanks.

I will have to look closely tomorrow when I brush. I guess light brownish...

our pollen is also very high at the moment ? ... still going to do the OCLT and report back

I will do the OCLT tomorrow night and see what I get, thanks.

I have noticed these "dusty" spots at the bottom of the pool. When I brush, it looks like a poof of dust. Does it look like MA (might have to zoom the photo). I have never noticed it on the walls or anything, just the bottom ? Thanks

Will keep MA on hand and manage my pH, lower and let it rise and lower again, which in turn hopefully will bring TA down over time. Thanks guys !

Fill water out the tap: pH: 7.2 TA: 280

I am not sure, I will go do a test, but that was actually my next question. I want to top-up the pool today or tomorrow a little, so will that decrease the TA ? I guess I will know by testing it. I will do it later, assume the same method as testing pool water ? Ok will do, going to Menards...

good morning y'all been a little struggle with my TA, using dry-acid (left overs from previous owners), but will pick up some MA today, however, todays results: FC: 6.0 CC: 0.5 (very slight pink, one drop cleared it using the 10ml method) pH: 7.6 TA: 130 CYA: 40 .. looking back at my logs...

Nice, 126 in stock, I'll go pick up some. Thanks again everyone

Where do you guys buy MC ?

Yeah, the 25ml, I will try the 10ml method tomorrow, thanks!

Thanks you for the reply and suggestion with reading the CYA, definitely going to try that ! I did get some LC at Menards over the weekend, they have 1gal 12.5% for $4.99 and I did put in 12oz as per pool math today to take it up to around 5. Will test again tomorrow and adjust. I am also...

So here is where I am at today: pH : 7.3 FC: 3.8 CC: 0.2 CH: 210 TA: 140 CYA: ~43 (this one is a little tricky, the results vary a little between tests, but today seems to be about 43 just when the dot disappears) pH is a little lower, since I am trying to get my TA down. Been adding dry-acid...

new here .... we bought a house with a pool over winter, our very first pool. took the cover off a week ago, water was looking ok, some dust in the bottom, two dead mice at the bottom though. the one mouse almost looked "mushy", it was gross. anyway, got the mice out and shocked with cal hypo...
