Hello,
Pool Info:
- 24 Ft round. DE Filter. Already backwashed and cleaned the filter.
Current condition:
-Crystal Clear water.
-Readings from basic strips : FC 3, Ph 7.1, TA(alkalinity) 90.
I'm getting to know about pool maintenance and I have already come across my first mystery. Aka, white powder at the bottom of pool.
Interesting: When i pick up a bit of sample and rub against my fingers, it dissolves or disappears. Not sure if it's DE or some other chemical ingredient.
1. Can it be a DE coming out due to a puncture in filter fingers(Hayward EC40 DE Filter)?
Or
2. Can be the part of chlorine that did not dissolve? ( I shocked the pool a few times in the beginning)
Please kindly find photos attached. On the photos, it looks bit yellowish/tan color, but it's more of white.
