Need some guidance - to fight or to fill it in with dirt!
Long story short - took over from the pool guy a year ago, bad idea. I wasn't educated enough and was fully reliant on pool store guys, top that off with pump failure and untimely illness and the pool went uber green (quick).
Still needing to get educated to do this myself on a regular basis, but got the pump replaced and the water blue again, now am stuck with people telling me the stains on the wall are black algae and no sense in balancing the pool as I should drain and have someone acid wash.
Do these pics give any clue as to what I am facing (these are post scrubbing with steel brush):
Looking to see if me reading up here and staying out of pool store could get this done or am I better off as said above, drain it and pay someone to come out and acid wash it?
