Firefall Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 My husband discovered this a little while back and it seems never ending. it clogs up the filter/turtle especially. We have a sand filter, keep up with the ph/algae/and backwashing. Anysuggestions? It is a clearish gummy substance. Thanks in advance for any help. I am a novice at pools, but the person who we bought from and had it installed with is NOT the person I will ever go to for advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTGallop Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Your pool is haunted. It is ectoplasim - Call Ghostbusters. Just kidding. I've never seen this, but my advice would be (with any undesireable foreign matter): 1. Fill the pool up as much as possible. 2. Vac it to waste (bypassing the filter all together. 3. Back wash the holy mother out of the filter. 4. Don't forget to do a rinse cycle to clear the stand pipe. 5. Shock 6. If all else fails add some "Pool First Aid."
