    Algae or pollen?

    Algae or pollen?

    Shocked and brushed yesterday, FC went down from 17 to 15 overnight with no CC. Water was clearer than yesterday, but still green and with some yellowish accumulation on the bottom. Added more chlorine, brushed some more, sent the robotic pool cleaner on its way and installed a skimmer sock...

    Another newbie looking for assistance!

    Thanks, very helpful. My CYA level is 10 ppm - sorry I forgot to include that originally. Should I get the chlorine level back up and then add stabilizer first, or start with the stabilizer?

    Another newbie looking for assistance!

    My husband I just purchased a house with a pool and are trying to figure it all out! Up until March the pool was completely enclosed, but sometime while the house was on the market the building caved in on the pool. The owners removed the building, completely drained the pool, and made it...
