Thanks, Richard. Thought I remembered someone stating that cold water would inhibit the killing potential of chlorine, but I tend to agree with you. Since if it is algae, and its compromised now, time to put my foot on its throat!! FWIW, I've been monitoring the boards for a while now, and your...

Yeah, it brushes off. It's a diamond brite finish so I think the algae is imbedded in the rough texture. What prompted this question is that as the water has gotten colder, the "stain" has become less and less noticeable. As a matter of fact, I can't really detect it at all now. I guess I could...

I've only done one OCLT and didn't lose any but if I can have MA and still have 0 CC's I guess that is...

I'm a newbie here and really enjoy your site. Quick question, how much does a screen affect chlorine usage? I've just started using BBB and my pool looks great because of it! Don't have any real history yet, but it seems that my chlorine level is taking a long time to come down after reaching my...
