I emptied 80% of my pool to clear out CH and CYA and I have some green algae in my black Marcite pool. How can I get rid of the green algae? Do I refill and then shock or clear out the algae before refil? If the latter what is the best way? Thanks

Rubbing the puck didn’t do anything on the puck and just left a chalk on the steps which I just brushed off and it didn’t look any different I did walk around it and saw the rubber guard on the pool step have green algae so I’m going to assume it’s green algae at least on the rubber step guard...

I’ll do a chlorine drop test tonight I haven’t used pucks since December but I started to use it to raise the cya since it was near 0 after the refill. The city water ch is 125, im not sure what the aquifer ch is but I live on an island that was a marsh in the 1920’s and the marsh is made of...

They did throw in some shock on Monday when they filled it and I didn’t have the test kit to check then. I don’t. Have any shock here I just have my pool chlorine and the chlorine granular they gave me with the spa So maybe it’s the shock still hanging around since Monday?

I did add the oxidizer ( I think it was 1.5 oz) two days back when it was cloudy I don’t believe I have used any surfactant(not sure what that is The spa was filled last Monday as it’s new Filter scheduled to be cleaned this Sunday as it’s new I don’t have any spares as it’s a new spa I have a...
