Hi everyone,
New to TFP. Seemed like a useful forum! We have had a massive oak pollen drop in the last couple of weeks and now my pool is green. I have been vaccuming daily, running the pump constantly, keeping the basket clear, and there still seems to be so much pollen. In the morning the pollen has settled on the floor and walls. The water is clear but yellow pollen + blue water= green I suppose. When I vacuum or brush it stirs everything up which makes it cloudier. I increased the chlorine yesterday it has been around 5 for 24hrs now. pH is 7.3, TA is 100, Cy acid is 50, and the flow rate has been at 275. All of that seems good to me unless I am missing something. I have a sand filter and have been backwashing more frequently as well. Trying everything I can think of. Is dilution the only way out of this?
Thanks for any input!
