My gosh, there is a lot to learn about this stuff. I'm slowly taking it all in and am happy to have found this forum! Still making my way through the pool school, but thought I'd throw down my first post.
Just bought a house last Friday. The former owners didn't take the best care of this saltwater pool, but I am trying to get it in shape. New salt cell, new filters, scrubbing the walls. There was some algae on the walls and he was only running it 3 days a week. I'm now running it 4 1/2 hours a day to start and am waiting on the Taylor K-2006 to arrive so I can start diagnosing things.
In the meantime, I do have some algae staining in a couple areas that I can't seem to get rid of (just by scrubbing), but was waiting to tackle those after I can test the pool levels and get things going.
Here is a picture and please excuse my newbie miscues...
Thank you in advance to all of you for answering my future questions!!!
