After years of trying to figure this out, i dived in deeper this year to hopefully get to the bottom of this. As stated this happens every year. I look and it seems like sand that is coming out of my filter and settleing to the bottom. Kept trying to repair filter to no avail. This year i bought a robo cleaner that does not use the filter to clean. In the cleaner i noticed alot of white and blue specs build up. I stopped using the NST tablets in my floater and am using liquid chlorine now. It keeps coming back though. I finally went under water with a turkey baster and sucked it up manually and put it in clear cup to see it. When I put it in cup its all cloudy because of the suction of the water and powder mixing in the baster. It eventually settles to the bottom of the cup. White powder. I don't use shock any more as well. it looks like that but it will not dissolve no matter how much i brush it. it keeps coming back. can almost see it coming through the filter when I turn it on. Been having this every year happening but my assumption it was sand was incorrect. Does anyone have any suggestions. I keep using my robo cleaner not attached to the filter to try and get it out a little at a time. But it does keep coming back through the filter. I am new to this forum and wasn't sure where to post this.
