    cleaning stains.

    after a long battle with my pool, I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. My pool was green for almost a month mostly due to the fact that first I had a bad motor that needed replacing, so there was that entire duration that the algae bloom was at its best.

    The blue lagoon..

    First, I cannot give you numbers at this given time, but I can get them asap. What I can tell you, is that I had the water tested and the only number that was out of whack, was the FC. Upon getting these numbers, my local pool supply gave me a 5 gallon jug of chlorine and told me to put this all...
