I peeked. I took off a corner of the cover because I hate not knowing what's going on under there. The water looks great, I can see straight down to the main drain including a huge pile of worms and leaves .
However, I noticed some bright green algae on the bottom of the skimmer mouth, like growing on the plastic. Should I try to get in there now and scrub that off now or is ok to wait until we actually open in late April/early May? How would even be the best to tackle that? A magic eraser? Just use a sponge and wipe it off? Should I try to pour some bleach in there? There's water in the skimmer so I can't pour anything directly on the algae. Should I attempt to test the FC? I'm assuming if there's algae on the skimmer mouth the FC is below 3.
