PeterCD Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Can somebody help me............?Have an FBE pool (10 x 4) installed 2yrs ago by local installer without any problems/issues. I know PoolGuy does not favour the Oxy Actif system but it seems to work for us.The problem is that despite regular cleaning and hoovering with a Hayward Vac (daily) - within 6/8 hrs a blackish "tide line" appears at one end of the pool and around the roman steps which are at the opposite end to the pump/filtration system. This "line" is easily removed with a sponge and appears to be slightly greasy because flies get "trapped" by it + other insects, etc - and although we have been swimming since last weekend (water temp 23deg) - nobody has used sun tan lotion/cream!Has anyone experienced the same problem and if so how was it prevented??PeterCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveau Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have a similar thing, except that it's in the skimmers. A small black oily deposit forms around the top of the skimmer housing.I don't think it is from traffic pollution - there's little traffic, and anyway the pool has an abri.It's not from suntan oil.I wonder if it comes from the beetles that get in the water?Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
