Are you using an 'ionizer'? One of those gadgets that add copper and silver ions to the water? If so, your purple ring could be from that - the ions conmbined with added chlorine.
We just started having " the purple ring " . It seems to be from the corrosion of the brass in the pump. WHy? that we do not know as we have changed nothing in the environment or pool maintenance or additives since filling it five years ago. We are tracing tree pest spray as a possible source of the chemical change in the water.
I also have a purple ring around my pool and connecting spa. I have been using a "chlorine floater" and the PH level is very low, (not changing color at all when the test solution is added) I have added the recommended amount of soda ash, and still not getting good results, what's next???
If you regularly use an algaecide that contains copper in it, the level of copper will build in your pool and react with the chlorine sanitizer, creating the "purple ring."
Try using a product like "metal out" as instructed on the bottle. Vacuum your pool, backwash it, and switch to a non-copper based algaecide, to prevent future "Barney" rings.
I am hearing that the purple can be caused by the combination of copper and a high cyanuric acid level.
Manganese Seems to be the source of the problem Follow the link below for more information
Hmm, purple dust..... could be very high conditioner levels. If so you must drain part of the water from the pool and add new water to dilute.

Best bet is to have the water tested to see what chemical is causing the problem then take appropriate action based upon professional advice.
u could get a net and scoop it out or a boul
You can use a black hole

Add more chlorine
With either a skimming net or get an effective floating pool skimmer
Ants are not necessarily attracted to your salt system for your swimming pool. However, they are attracted to rotting leaves and other organisms found by a swimming pool. To get rid of ants around your pool you can spray a 40 percent water, 40 percent rubbing alcohol, and 20 percent dish soap around the outside of your pool.
shock it, then 24 hours later brush and vacuum. if still murky, algaecide, maximum dose on bottle.
drain, scrub and refill..
The water can be drained outwith a hose.
Go to the local pool store and buy a large bottle of Phosfee. Add the recommended amountit to your swimming pool pump and circulate for 48 hours. Back wash to waste, the re-check your water.
go on the internetfind out what you needgo buy the stuff you needgo kill the leaches
