Thanks a bunch aylad and Carl

we have trouble with pollen on occasion as well...I find using a skimmer sock works wonders to trap the finer particles.
in regards to sand in my pool, everything is back in order now, new sand and all. Looking forward to nice clean water!

Yeah, I do the same thing. Skimmer socks and DE in the sand filter are two things that give INCREDIBLE bang for the buck in terms of their effectiveness. If I spend $15/season on both combined that's a lot! Particularly in the spring when the pollen is downright vicious, the skimmer socks make a HUGE difference and you don't have to backwash nearly as often.
