Hi there new to TFP. I have a 35,000 gallon plaster sand filter pool in Phoenix Arizona. Have had algae for a couple of weeks now, not responding to liquid chlorine. took the water to Leslie's to get tested sure enough CYA level was around 200. They say you can't drain a plaster pool out here until the high temperatures average 86° or below which for us is not until November. (they say with the hot dry air the plaster will crack or whatever) The pool store printed me out a whole bunch of stuff which I don't have in front of me right now, but long story short it had all my levels of everything on it and a couple of alternative recommended courses of action to get rid of the algae for now until we can drain the pool in a couple of months. These pool store recommendations of course involve me purchasing lots of fancy expensive chemicals. I don't mind spending the money if I know it'll work, but I'm skeptical that it will. What do you guys think? Are there ways to get rid of algae in my situation without draining half the pool?
Thanks!
Thanks!
