Hi Dave,
What is causing you to question your choice of 'organics'? IMO, it's a fine word to describe the common contaminats we have to deal with.
Leaves, bits of grass, bugs; body waste (and I definitely have experience with that: My old dog pooped in the pool the other day. For sure organic ); algae, molds, bacteria and virii.
The occasional inorganic matter, such as sand, dirt (debatable whether that's organic or inorganic), rocks and such only challenge the chlorine household because they may carry along organic materials.
You could use 'biomatter' or 'biological contaminants' - and hey, that one could be abbreviated to biominants and we'd have a whole new word - but IMO for purposes of these discussions, organics is a good description.
