Hello everyone,
We have been having issues with our 24,000 gallon pool on and off for the past couple of years. We began to get a very fine brown/green looking powder at the bottom of our pool. Originally, we were running a DE filter using Fiberclear instead of DE. The pool uses bromine through a brominator. We were told by our pool company that it could be the fine DE in the system and we should look to switch to a sand filter. We switched to a sand filter last year and so far the results have been the same. We recently began to use a one micron pool filter bag and vacuuming straight to waste. However, after a couple of days of nonuse, the powder is back. We commonly fill the pool with well water when the water gets low. Our water samples all come back clear as well as at home tests. We have had other pool companies come out. One said pollen, but it is past the peak of pollen season and we aren’t seeing any decrease. They all agreed it is not sand from the sand filter. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
