Hi there,
I recently returned home after being away for a while and found my pool guy (now fired) did not do his job. There was debris (leaves) in the pools, Chlorinator was broken, Filter was plugged, and there were dark (black) spots on the Diamond Britepool surface which will not brush off, the chlorine level was at 0 and pH was high. I plan on doing the following steps:
1) Lower the pH (Done)
2) Clean the filter.
3) Brush the Pool with a Stainless bristle brush (difficult to do due to a disability)
4) Shock the Pool with 1 Gallon of Chlorine. I have shock packages too but will use the liquid for faster mixing and dispersion.
5) Add 1 Quart of Black Algaecide.
How long should I wait between Shocking and adding Algaecide? Have I missed anything?
Thanks for any tips and advice,
Peter B.
