Hey guys! I posted before with this, but I was in the middle of dealing with winter algae. Now that that is cleared up, I wanted to start fresh with a new post.
So, I have 2 problems. A short term problem is that there is scum on the top of my pool. It's stuff that I can't fish out of the pool and my filter is apparently not getting it out. It could just be pollen (I live in Chattanooga, TN), but it's still annoying.
A long term problem, which I'm wondering if it's causing my short-term problem, is that I'm losing sand from my sand filter. It's been happening since I bought the house. I've been running it since last April or so when we got new sand put in it. It's been losing a little sand ever since then. Personally, I think that I'm running low on sand now and that's why there is scum on top of my pool. What do you guys think?
EXTRAS:
I'm attaching pictures of the top of my pool so you can see the scuminess that I'm referring to.
