Slime Bag.
Get a Slime Bag
I have this same issue from time to time. I suspect it is pollen in my pool. If I open to early I get lots of pollen. Or maybe it is even dead algae. Either way, my filter does not get it out - even through it is a DE filter.
Whenever I see this stuff start collecting on the bottom (always in the same place, furthest from the return, where the water slows down) I throw my slime bag on the return. The next day, after the normal two 3 hour filter / chlorinate cycles I run each day, all of the offending dust / pollen / deal algae / whatever is gone, and it does not return (at least for a few weeks)
