Hello all. Needing some help. Had this pool for 10 years. The first 6 no problems. Then we had the liner replaced. Since then we have struggled with the pool water chemistry. Algae has been an issue… not sure if chlorinator isn’t working properly but struggle to keep chlorine levels correct. Had chlorine demands…. The list goes on. Now we think we have a small leak somewhere. Going to do the bucket test but I think I have mustard algae now so trying to conquer that. I have a family owned pool store that I’ve used for 10 years and they have done my testing and I’ve bought and put in what they recommended. I have a Taylor test kit but it is so intimidating to me. Sorry this is so long but wanted some background info in there. So because I have this algae that won’t go away with what the pool store has said I’m looking for advice on my next steps. I will post my results from them from yesterday.
They had me add algaecide 60 and copper algaecide… did that 48 hours ago… brushed and brushed some more. This morning algae wS back in spots on walls, floor , ladder etc. pool store said no more chlorine or shocking as I’m about to get into a chlorine demand. FC. 5. CC 2.7
I feel like I need to SLAM it but not sure from their advice. I just need to know what to do next… I’m working now on getting my PH down.
