    Algae update

    I will try the loosen technique first. And see if I can get to it all. I will have a new gasket ready to go if I take it all the way off. Also I’ll make sure just to lower enough like you said. Thanks for the tips if I do it

    Green algae

    I have neglected my pool for a couple weeks. Upon testing I had zero fc. I dumped 2 gallons of shock and I’ll be buying more tomorrow to do a proper slam. I have 2 questions. 1. Will the algae spots come up with less elbow grease once the fc is high ? As of right now it’s hard to scrum away...
