I've discovered a dirty layer on the bottom of my pool and when I try and vacuum it, it dissolves back into the water. Though it looks clean when I'm finished by the end of the day the bottom is cover again. Had a pool for 6 years but never this problem. It all started when I noticed the water was cloudy. I added clarify and the next day I had this issue. The water was no longer cloudy but the bottom was very dirty.
Small pool, 8,000 gallons. Chlorine and PH are fine. Filter sand replaced 2 years ago. I cycle the water through the pump every day for 2 hours. Should be enough based on pump power and size of pool. Back wash often,
until the water runs clean. The water jets are pointing up in hopes too vacuum the bottom before the
water movement dissolves the dirt. If I point them down the dirt dissolves back into
the water in minutes and unable to vacuum any of it.
Any ideas?
