Why is the bottom of my above ground pool Brown?
Brown algae or sand on the bottom of my above ground. If your brown colored “dust” wisps away in front of your vacuum, then it is probably not sand at all. The fact that it is brown probably suggests one of two possibilities. First, you might just be having a problem removing an already dead algae. Dead algae can turn brown in the water.

Last year a spent every evening of the season cleaning fine dust from the bottom after the pump had been running, only to find it returned 3-4 hours later.

Can’t get rid of the stuff, whatever it is. In this picture you can see it at the edge of the walls and the bottom and it’s scattered around the bottom. The dark spot in the upper right side of the picture is just the reflection of a tree. Dirt (super fine), pollen, maybe some old dead algae.
