- My Pool: My pool was installed sometime in the mid 1980's. I have lived in house since 2013. Vinyl Liner. Sand Filter.Chlorine Pool (No Saltwater). Since moving in I have replaced the sand (twice). New Pump, New Chlorinator, New Multi-Port on my Hayward Sand Filter.
Grey Matter that vanishes
I have maintained this pool for past 5 years of home ownership. The pool is about 33 years old. This grey matter easily brushes away, but always comes back. Even when I vacuum to waste, it comes back next morning. I have tried every chemical recommended. No "local" pool person has ever been able to diagnose. Please help.

Re: Grey Matter that vanishes
Looks like clumped algae. Vac to waste, shock, retest, vac to waste, etc.
Bumped for more help.
I have same issue but mine is not as clumped up.

Really does not look like algae, the water is too clear, just fine silt. I get that at crop cutting time, even gets through the cars cabin filter.
