Question for those folks out there battling, or recently stopped battling, LIVE OAKS and all their droppings. Be it leaves or the yellow-green fronds (apparently called catkins), the pool's nearby live oak is driving me nuts. OK. The question: I'm getting a ton of these pollen fronds in my pool . . . does anyone with this same issue see a higher chlorine demand due to these things?
So, pool was built and first filled this past November. We've had plenty of sunny days, and sure the water was a bit cooler and the sun's angle is different, but man, the demand spike seems awfully sudden. The sudden spike coincides with the constant dropping of these pollen fronds into our pool. Anyone else?
We are skimming a lot more, brushing more, using the fine filter on the Doheny's Discovery and cleaning it out daily, and keeping an eye on the tree-spooge culprit praying for it to just drop everything and get it over with. And, yes, when it is over, I'll have the answer to my question, I suppose. Just looking for y'alls feedback.
Thanks!
