We keep getting this white stuff on the bottom of our pool. At first I thought it was the shock settling at the bottom, my wife swore it was DE. Instead of putting granualar shock in, I used liquid chlorine this time. I cleaned the filter again and added more DE. This morning this is what I wake up to. Image quality is poor I'm sorry. I'm running a Hayward Perflex D.E. Filters - Above Ground EC40. I had to replace the filter body this summer and ever since we just haven't been able to get clear of whatever that stuff is.
