I had my pool installed last year, so since it was new I used the pool builder company to winterize and re-open the pool. They admitted that they added an algaecide. My test kit (LaMotte 3619) has measured 0.2 of copper. I read somewhere that even smaller amounts of copper can tint blonde hair green. It's a shame because I had my water chemistry perfect last year. Anyway, I am exploring my options and could do with some expert advice.
1. Partially drain the pool, leaving 1ft in the shallow end, and re-filling to avoid having to get a liner vacuum.
2. Buy a liner vacuum (such as Air Supply 3 Blower and Vinyl Liner Vacuum)
3. Use a sequestrant like Pool Mate 1-2550-04 Metal Out, but I know this doesn't actually remove it.
I think the best option is to completely drain the pool and buy a vacuum pump. Has anyone used the Air Supply 3? I don't know which hoses / pipes I need to insert into the liner. The pool company had used two when they installed the pool, one on each side, and their hose had a wide flat end (around 5" wide) inserted into the sides of the liner.
Before I do anything, I could do with some advice. My daughter and her friends are very mad.
