My back was afraid you were going to tell me that! I'm open to any other suggestions if anyone has them though.

I forgot to mention we have a large pond with algae in it about 40 yards from our pool. Could the spores go airborne? It's just odd the first two years the pool did not have this problem.

Since switching to BBB method last summer I am having a recurrent problem with algae just on the pool walls. It poofs up when brushed and is bright green. I will go through the shock process despite water being clear and cc 0 with no overnight fC loss. The chlorine did not go below 8-10 last 2...

We have always had inexpensive, used grills in the past that did not last and were prone to flareups. Several friends enthusiastically recommended Weber gas grills. Though they were double the price we were hoping to spend we figured if it lasts twice as long a d performs better during that time...

I am following your thread because I am having a similar problem this summer. Even after mustard shock process to the letter 3 weeks ago as soon as chlorine decreased to 6 with a cya of 55 (first time below 9.5 in 3 weeks!) IT had spots of algae on shady wall of pool this morning. Will do OFCL...

Yes, I am sure i have a kreepy krawly legend. It is grey with 4 wheels, a sweeper tail, collection bag on top, and attaches via a long hose to the sidewall return. Stays in Pool while shocking and no leaks yet!

Re: Is it hard/$$ to add extra light to existing vinyl IG po We only have 4 ft of poured cement decking on that side of the pool so I don't know if tunneling to it would be an option to avoid ripping up existing concrete. Husband could do that but would have to hire pool builder to install...

After reading another post I was wondering how feasible and pricey the labor would be to add an add an intellibrite LED light to the side of my shallow end while pool is winterized and water level is lower. I already have one in the deep end. We should have done it during build but bad advice...

We Have 1 intellibrite at the center of the deep end Of our 20 x 40 pool rectangular pool. We should have also put one in the side of the shallow end Because the shallow end does not light up as bright. The costs of the build were mounting and my husband did not think it was worth the expense...

We have left our kreepy krawly in several times while shocking. In 2 years we have only had to replace the foam tip on the end of the sweeper tail. The grey exterior of body bleached out a bit. Still operating great otherwise!

Yes... I have been reading everything I can on pool school and that's how I knew how to pass on the copper algaecide ;) I will do ofcla tonight but I suspect it will pass as it has before with clear water and no visible algae) and if I pass it I will nuke he stuff at MA level shock tomorrow and...

Looking for clarification. Shocking pool for 3 rd time now due to small yellowish green algae spots That disappear initially with regular shock, easily brush away only to reappear a few days later on all but south facing pool walls in pool despite chlorine levels have never lowered below 11 ppm...

Actually we did have to take out our filter and clean it after maybe 4 backwashes because we had so much algae we couldn't backwash well enough the fifth time to get the pressure to come down. I should mention that we started out with a clean filter prior to opening the pool but the amount of...
