    I don't think phosphates are a real issue for you now.
    I do think Watermom is right and you have an algae bloom starting.
    Shock the pool to 20ppm FC and keep it there until you lose no more than 1ppm FC from sunset to sunrise and you have little to no CC (0.5ppm or less). Brush the pool - daily if you can - walls and floor. Run the pump/filter 24/7.

    Post a full set of K-2006 readings and pool and equipmnet specs.
    12'x24' oval 7.7K gal AG vinyl pool; ; Hayward S270T sand filter; Hayward EcoStar SP3400VSP pump; hrs; K-2006; PF:16

    @Watermom: if you change the URL to http://pool9.net/pf-equip-form/, it shouldn't make a smiley.

    Thanks, Dave. Actually, I didn't type it, Ben did.

    @ Dave: thanks.

    @ W-M: I think Dave's point was, I screwed up the URL. Fixing the URL also resolved the problem with the smiley.

    @ Earl: swim down, and get some of the "white powder" between your fingers. See what texture it has.
