Hi M Spinhirne,
Your note just slipped in there.
Are you saying that the green solids were not algea? I'm with you with the setteling idea. My son is headed back out to turn off the pump. I really want to work on suctioning tom. I think if you could see how powerfully and well dispersed the water falls are everyone would come to the conclusion that there is no way the water couldn't be well airated. I had one on for most of the day.
The only form of small pore filter I have is that green/white aquatic sheet. They have been dirtier(greener) than ever since I did the aluminum sulf. I realize they need to be cleaned or replaced repeatedly. I'll even put one in the leaf basket between the hoses.
I have never caught the ph being below 8 and that was very momentary. Your right about the additional floc formation. I had most of the green chucks off the top from using the old barley hay in the net, this new stuff is different, white and foamish and fine. wHILE all the green is setteling. That is what I'm after tom.. Maybe I'll try putting a fine screen over the pool bottom tool with the wheels to widen the suction surface, that could get the green and leave the sand. I wonder if they make minny pool filters that I could put in the pump; where the leaf baskets are now? I'll check on that too.
I make out like I don't enjoy the work, I do. It would just be nice to get it down and have time for everything else in life, like gardening!
