Is there any cure for this, perhaps by causing the dust to agglomerate so that the sand filter holds it? -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) 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.

Didn't you read my post about the religious diversity of my family. Roman Catholic, Jew and space alien on one side and Southern Baptist, Southern Methodist, Druids and a group of people who worship some sort of fungus that glows in the dark on the other side. I can pick on anyone of any faith because they're my cousins. TDD- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Duf, you never cease to amaze me. *All that religion in one family! Any of them Muslims? Heck, it wouldn't surprise me, Italians and Hillbillies will mate with anything. There's got to be a little bit of everything in my family tree including farm animals.
