Welcome to TFP!
Most of the time, the problem you describe is due to insufficient chlorine. Post your normal FC and CYA levels and we can advise you better.

Not sure what kind of pool cleaner you have, but if there is a fine-mesh silt bag, I would try that. Every couple of springs or so, we get a fine film of silt caused by dust blowing in from West Texas. It's usually not visible in the air but it's noticeable when it lands in your pool. This has worked for me.
