    Algae when closing

    I am getting ready to close our pool. I had it plastered this summer by Anthony Sylvan. I live in PA and it is still 70 during the day and 50 at night. I left the pool get away from me a bit and it got dirty and algae grew on it in some places. I shocked it and brushed the walls repeatedly...

    Relatively new pool owner with a few questions

    We bought a house that has an older gunite pool that has been painted with chlorinated rubber paint. We have it in pretty decent shape, but it is a hit and miss deal to get good looking water over the past three years. I usually just head over to the pool store each year with a water sample...
