OK, So I thought I knew what I was doing with my pool for the past 9 years until this year. Everything that could go wrong apparently has. I am chin deep into the deepest emerald green swamp a person could have. I even have an aligator, but he is a wire topiary form jokingly given by a friend.
I am at my wits end regarding this algae. I am not a current BBB person, though after reading the posts here, I will soon become one. I have been to three different pool supply stores looking for assistance, and all they do is try to sell me more stuff. Here is what I know, and I am looking for ANY advice I can get.
I am in a Kansas City suburb and we have had a pretty wet spring (if that makes any difference).
I have a vinyl lined, concrete walled pool
I run my pump 24x7 ( does that matter?)
At last check my chlorine is at 3.5 (high due to the shock treatment the pool place recommended)
My ph is 7.2
Alkalinity 90
CYA 40
Phosphate 100
I have done multiple double and triple shock treatments, I have done the copper 'terminator' treatment, I have swept and swept, I have worried that my testing chemicals are bad, I am at my wits end and do not know who to trust any more.
IF, I ever get the algae under control, what steps do I need to go through to convert to the BBB method?
HELP!
