It looks like i have a sever algae problem in opening my salt water pool. I opened it a couple weeks ago and it has been cold and rainy ever since. I opened the auto cover yesterday and the slopes are covered with a brown something. If i brush it it looks like a white slime floating. I'm getting ready to start the slam process but have a couple questions.
1) Is it any different with a salt water pool vs chlorine? I had a chlorine pool before and did the process a couple times. Just making sure there isn't anything i need to watch for with the salt water.
2) should i turn the salt generator off?
3) should i brush the algae off the bottom to keep it stirred up and filtering?
4) should i vacuum to waste instead of letting it filter it out.
Thanks for any help!
