Hello again,
I just finished brushing my entire pool. Sides, bottom, tiles, ladder, steps, everything. I use a "Wall Whale" brush which has a spoiler that keeps the bristles against the wall or floor. I'm asking what is the "Dusty" stuff that comes up off the floor when brushing? Is it just dirt, pieces of leaves, air and water pollutants and bug remnants? Is it Algae? I use the same amount of 12% everyday and my pool is really clean, never hazy. Once in a while I boost up the Chlorine amount just to be sure it isn't Algae and it doesn't use more or less Chlorine the next few days, so I go back to my regular. When I brush it all up it dissipates into the nether regions like smoke into the air. There isn't a lot, but I just want my pool to be the best it can be. Maybe I should brush more often? I don't think my pump with it's 2 returns moves enough water for my liking, but what to do about that? I have a booster pump that was put in for an auto vacuume, but it really doesn't do much but split my surface water into the deep side vs the shallow side. I actually think it makes the skimmer not as effective. With that said and the extra electricity it uses, I don't use it at all, really. I backwash when my pressure changes by 3 or 4 lbs. but with the way I keep my pool clean and baskets with sock filters emptied, it's hardly even dirty water that comes out. Is there a way to check the pressure flow? I've had the sand filter changed out last year and a new impeller the year before. Am I just worried over a little bit of dirt and nothing else? Thanks for reading if you made it this far. Cheers.
