A number of questions

[Spensar]

Duraleigh, my filter returns clean water, the only exception being when I had to vacumm a lot of the fine powdery dead algae that resulted from cleaning up from a major algae situation that came up while I was away. There was a lot of it and some did recirculate if I was on filter. I wouldn't want the poster to his the panic button because of an extraordinary situation of a very heavy load of very fine particles. If that happens in the normal course of operations there is a problem. Love to hear from others too if they think I may have a problem if this is happening.

The advice that has been given on this forum for the few years I have followed it is to vacumm the heavy dead algae to waste, and it works.

Buckeye, that will be good for now. Ride it out until the water clears. I went through this a few weeks ago and as I said, found vacumming to waste helped a lot.
