I have had my pool open for almost 2 weeks now and I test it everyday and my results always seem reasonable but I have been seeing this dirt(?) In the fold of the vinyl that I couldn't get smoothed out every time the pump is off for a little bit. I read on the forums here that if it poofs when you brush it that means it algae but my levels are all within range most of them at the preferred level. We have a new pool pad and all round it is dirt that we have seeded but it hasn't sprouted yet and my husband likes to mow every 2 or 3 days due to our grass growing super fast and of course every time he does he doesn't put the cover on and mows around the the pool.

Hello! :wave: Are you still having that problem with stuff accumulating on the bottom? Does there seem to be any correlation between your husband's yardwork? If not, you might consider an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test just to be on the safe side.
Hi! Yes it's gotten a ton better we finally have grass growing around the pool and the amount of debris in the pool is so minimal I don't have to vaccuum multiple times a day or even everyday! I did do the OCLT test before we left for vacation just to be sure and there was no change in my numbers from night until morning. Thank you so much for checking in!!
