Central Texas Pollen - Update with Storm mess

Re: Central Texas Live Oak Pollen

Whoa, that's bad.

That's nothing! This is bad:


That came down in 24 hours. It filled 2/3 of a 32 gallon trash can. I'm glad it is finally over.

I live near the original poster. I also saw a slight short term increase in chlorine demand due to all that organic matter (there is a long term slower increase due to sun and warmth). I had to back wash my filter twice in one week, which I didn't think I've ever done before. They came down extra fast this year.

I'm just glad we got some rain and most of the pollen was washed away.

Be interesting to see a Solar Breeze running through that!

OMG I will never complain about the stuff that falls in my pool again

The green tint was the pollen, FC held up well and 0 CC. Robot and the skimmer choked 2x per day at the peak. Finally done for the most part.

Cheer up! Pecan is ready to start next! LOL

We are having the same issue in DFW. It hasn't been this bad in the 9 years I've been in this house.

New guy here but this plus the constant oak leaves was enough to drive me to finally get a pool cover. What I learned is that I have to wait until pollen-dropping season is over to open the pool.
