I no it’s not quite ”under construction“ so if there’s a better place to post then let me know. But i’ve had a go at dealing with the Curse of the Black Algae and decided to give up and come at it for a different angle, by draining my pool. So the question is not algae related, but simply...

That's an interesting read thanks.

On the bright side it turns out the 6 year old does NOT need to be asked 15 times to get out of the pool, and can in fact exit the water like a Trident missile under the correct conditions.

Thanks for the quick response. I checked the app for SLAM level based on last weeks CYA level of 45. Thats giving me a SLAM Target FC of 10. (If I'm reading the app correctly) so i'm pretty close. I'll dump the rest of my bleach in and hit the store tomorrow. Are kids ever not sick...

Thanks! I got it to this stage: - - - Updated - - - before I realised the lights were flooded: BEHQ - thanks for that, I'll check them out. Okay...sand = dirt, Cloirine = Algae. Got it now ;) Even with my basic kit I could see levels were off: <i'll post a pic after sorting out the...

Hi, I'm English but living in Ibiza Spain. I currently have a dry pool I'm going to fill. I've just moved into a house with a small 4.5 x 2m pool. The pool came with a Pool Guy, and all was good for 2 months... unfortunately he went on holiday and sent a friend round. The pool turned green...
