Is there any cure for this, perhaps by causing the

What you need is to add a flocculant to your pool water. Very small
particles can't be filtered. The flocculant makes then clump together
so they are big enough to be filtered. *It's a commonly available pool
chemical.
Bit about the science here.:-

Flocculation sounds like some of that weird sex the Brits practice.
