Filter cleaned both days and getting new filter tomorrow. We don't live on a golf course but do abut a preserve that is seriously overgrown and pools near preserves tend to get exposed to more airborne phosphates. Supervisor has been great and admitted that our pool tech dropped the ball and should have been more on top of the situation. The supervisor is going to personally check on our pool monthly going forward.
You can bet the supervisor had a good talk with the tech. I doubt you'll have this problem again. T&D has an excellent reputation.
