Is it common for a de filter to not remove white powder from dead algae? I had a very old Hayward perflex which didn’t seem to be doing it’s job all summer. As opposed to begin checking and replacing parts, I opted to replace the filter and yesterday installed a Hayward 4820. Before replacing I vacuumed the remnants of a recent mild algae bloom (white powder) along with the tiny bugs and particles I’ve been used to all summer. Next day, same visual. I vacuumed again this morning to new filter And already I see powder and a few black specks congregated on the pool floor.
1- Could there be another reason aside from the actual filter?
2- Would this be a time to actually use a clarifier?
Pool water is perfectly clear. No signs of new algae. Followed tfp SLAM protocol last week.
