buy and add Pool Brite Super Floc (read the directions on the back and do what it says) and after a few hours all the stuff that's not supposed to be in the pool will rise to the top. let it clump up together and start by taking a bucket and scooping it out. one important thing though.DO NOT RUN THE FILTER AT ALL FOR A DAY OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT CLUMP TOGETHER. the next day sweep the pool and instead of backwashing and rinsing, put it to waste. hope this helps!

The other way is when there is a storm, strong winds produce large waves which pound against the coast and remove large amounts of materials from it.

What is the difference between the waste rinse and backwash functions on the Haywood DE filter tank and skimmer in terms of how the water flows?
The purpose of the backwash function is just to flush out the filter itself when you see the pressure gauge reading 8-10 lbs higher than the just-cleaned reading. The waste rinse function bypasses the filter and is used to vaccuum debris from the pool straight out into the yard. Use it when the debris is too fine for the filter to remove such as with dead algae.

How do you remove the brownish green sludge from the scenery in a fish tank?
If the substance you are refering to is algae and the scenery is moveable you can simply remove the algae covered items and scrub them in clean water. If you are refering to an algae slime on the substrate then you can remove it simply by syphoning it into a container for disposal. If the algae is on plants then having a few algae eating fish species like plecostomus or mollys in there will help keep it under control. Excess algae is usually caused by too much light for too long.
