Hi, long time lurker on the board, first time poster. So much helpful info on this board that I’ve used over the last few years. I’m having a new algae issue I’ve never had before and I’m really struggling with it.
Background: 18x36 unground pool here in Ohio. Hayward EC75A DE filter. I had to go out of town for a week and had to leave my pump off while gone so the water obviously got a little green. Shocked it 2 days ago and the water is crystal clear minus this green dust like material on the bottom. I’ve been vacuuming it up with my catfish blaster with paper towels wrapped on the filter to catch it (picture attached). Yesterday I vacuumed all day and while I realize that the dust shifts around, it looked pretty good. I’m attaching pictures from this morning and it just seems to keep growing. Chlorine levels are good, I’m just completely lost.
