    Fighting Algae / Balanced Chemicals

    Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Didn't consider taking an air hose down to blow it out vs. trying to remove the cover.

    Fighting Algae / Balanced Chemicals

    Yes, brush with a pole attachment minimum weekly and even purchased some brushes for the tile and spent a day going around the pool walls/lights/skimmer/etc. brushing vigorously by hand. (Took awhile holding my breath.) I have not removed the lights, but brushed all around and had goggles...

    Fighting Algae / Balanced Chemicals

    Good afternoon. Unfortunately I'm back for additional guidance. We've been fighting algae pockets in the corners/steps/wall surfaces for several weeks. The pool water is clear besides the green/yellow I see on the various surfaces. It's not all over the pool surface (Pebble Finish), just...

    High CYA - Need to Drain??

    Ok, thanks. Performed the extended CYA and came up with 95 so x2 = 190 for CYA. The pool is only a couple years old and this will be the 2nd drain/3rd fill. The previous was by the builder to fix some staining in the PebbleTec finish. In-ground gunite/pebble finish in Central TX. Do you...
