Hello pool experts.
For the last week or so our pool has been a cloudy, possibly from some hard rains we have had recently. I added some Clorox Clarifier/Flocculant yesterday (https://tinyurl.com/jx5dd9bz) and today things seemed to clear up pretty good as everything was now sitting on the pool floor (some yellow'ish, some white/clear, other a bit darker). While vacuuming everything up to waste, I noticed that while passing the vacuum head over certain parts of the pool floor, I noticed some suspended cloudy matter what looked like a couple of inches above the pool floor. I know it was suspended off the floor because I can see it up against the vacuum head as I passed under it.
What is that cloudy matter?
- Matter that still hasn't sunken to the floor yet? Maybe didn't keep the pump off long enough for everything to sink? I had the pump off for 13 hours (they suggested 12-24 hours)
- Algae?
