2 days later the same thing happends all of this gray substance goes right back into the pool I have to repeat the same process. How do I get rid of the patches?Mastered algae is very tough and you need to scrub or brush off most of it and remove any loose material you can see in your water using hand skimmer or large leaf net. You can use dry acid or Muriatic Acid to lower the pH.

Be cautious not to use vacuuming equipment if the water still has large bits of debris floating in or settled on the bottom of the pool.

I used to put too many tabs in and get white cloudy dust on bottom of pool and was constantly cleaning that lttle cartridge filter. After allowing it to settle and attempting to vacuum it up, I realized I was getting an immediate cloudy discharge from the return while vacuuming. But don't think, even for a moment, that maintaining chlorine levels is enough: You need to maintain an appropriate balance of all chemicals in your pool because they affect how long chlorine lasts in your water.Most chemicals used in the pool, such as pH chemicals, sanitizers, alkali, calcium, stabilizers, and more, will affect how chlorine works and how it is consumed. We are here to help you with information and advice on pool maintenance, pool repairs and swimming pool building.

I talked to a few people and did a little research and everything pointed to the valve gasket. I was also getting a consistent flow from the backwash port on the valve. My filter has a recirculate setting that allows water to run straight through the valve, by passing the canister, you might try that if you have the option - if you get any sediment I'd say you have a gasket issue and your dust is sand or filter sediment related.

You can keep ammonia away by cleaning leaves and other plant materials from your pool as soon as they get into the pool. Let it settle out for a day, poured bleach in it, and nothing happened. Powdery Sediment On Bottom Of Swimming Pool..Yellow Algae.. by Brad (Riverdale, GA) After having my water analyzed I added soda ash, then alkalinity up and finally Phosfree. And it seems impervious to chemicals.I'm new to pools and definitely no expert, but the dust might be a sign of early gasket failure on the filter valve. Found under ladder treads, behind pool lights, and inside pool filter. Pool stores are notorious for getting that one wrong and you do NOT want to overshoot on that as the only way to lower too high CYA is to drain and replace water. I originaly thought it might be pollen/air pollution but I've gotten this all-year round. For this reason, the only perfect way to avoid algae or cloudy water is to constantly maintain the correct chemical balance in your water, which means using an accurate pool water testing kit.First, you need to begin troubleshooting the problem one step at a time until you end up with clear, blue water. So if you've been adding it STOP. Do they sell good old fashioned "Laundry Bleach" up there? Step 2. I know you would prefer for me to have a test kit for more reliable results but like I said it's a bit of a challenge to get one where I live. The recommended Cyanuric acid level to avoid using much of chlorine is always 30ppm, which requires 12ppm FC shock level and FC should not go below 6ppm which is the maximum range.Very important; whichever shock level and Cyanuric acid level you choose to work with, test your FC after every hour and raise it back to the shock level when it reaches the maximum FC range, which is simply the level your FC should not go below in order to be able to kill all algae.Cya of 40ppm will need 16ppm FC and shouldn't go below 7ppm, Cya of 50ppm will need 20ppm FC and should not go below 8ppm, and Cya of 60ppm will need 24ppm FC and shouldn't go below 9ppm until your water is free of algae.Spare enough time to kill and get rid of algae because the process of testing FC and raising it back to the shock level might take a couple of days, and sometimes it may go up to a week or so depending on the algae you are fighting and how strong it has established itself in your pool.Very high FC levels is very destructive to pool parts and if your Cyanuric acid is higher than 30ppm, you will have to lower it first by draining and refilling 1/4 to 1/2 of your pool water.After raising your FC to 12ppm with Cya of 30(recommended), take FC reading in an hour's time and raise it back to 12ppm if it falls below 6ppm, which is the level it should not go below in order to kill all algae, repeat the process until you can't see traces of algae and this might go on up to a week or so.If it takes more than a week of adding chlorine to shock level but you can still see some spots of algae, find some Trichlor and apply it on spots that are still affected by algae but don't use a lot of as small amount will be effective, too much of Trichlor will raise your Cyanuric acid levels and it might get off the charts.

Because of this, you need to backwash your filter every day to ensure that it operates effectively during the process.If you have the DE filter, this process may be shorter since the DE filter is more efficient than the sand or cartridge types, but you need to remember to add a new DE after every backwash to facilitate the process.Whichever filter you are using, ensure that your system is functioning properly. I appreciate the effort.I have a pleated paper cartridge type filter (it looks like a giant oil filter, about a foot in diameter and about 2 feet long). Pool is absolutely crystal clear with no greenish color, etc. Yellow algae is not a strain that is commonly found in pools, and in many cases the plant can be introduced to a pool in the swimsuits or hair of swimmers who were just enjoying the river or the ocean. But I've never seen anything growing in the pool that looked like algae that could generate all that dirt once killed. I talked to a few people and did a little research and everything pointed to the valve gasket. Once you have killed all the algae and balance the water you should see a big difference in the water quality of your pool. Or is it possible to have algae/bacteria in the water that is not visible to the eye but once it is killed creates a ton of powder/dirt along the bottom? Does not stain/settle on the walls.
