Hi all

I was at a customer's pool the other day because of filter issues. When we got the DE filter open the grids were slimy . At the bottom of the pool, where the hopper walls meet the floor on the northern side) was what almost looked like cotton puffs.
This is a 12,000 gal IG liner pool. The test #s are
TC= .5
CC= .5
pH = 7.4
TA= 130
CH= 450
CYA= ~ 55

I added 2 gal 12.5% liquid chlorine, set the multi to 'recirc' and acid washed the grids - they still were not draining correctly after 2 days in the acid! (I know I should have degreased them first, but I can't pound that into my boss' peabrain )

What I'm wondering is if anyone has had experience with white water mold and if you think I correctly diagnosed the problem.

Oh yeah, it's a SWCG pool.

Thanks much for any input!
