    I think I'm done slamming.

    I woke up to crystal clear beautiful water, even in the deep end this morning. I tested my levels and they meet the criteria for being complete. However, when I started Wall-E up he kicked up some debris and the water went a bit cloudy. Still clearer than it's been in weeks, and I could still...

I had been treating an algae mess with liquid chlorine the last three days, bleach for a week prior. The cloudiness is significantly...

The bubble thing on wall-e's power line is vivible when it's in the deep end. I switched from bleach to chlorinating liquid yesterday, as I finally found...

    Thanks so much. The first picture is from a couple of days ago. The "silty" stuff that settles brushes right off. The pool store said it looked and sounded like mustard algae and a lot of people were struggling with it right now. I have used a copper Algeacide 2x now. Initial treatment a and one...

    Hi everyone. We moved into our house in November and promptly had a company come out and close our pool for the winter. We opened it ourselves about a month ago, and have been battling the cursed mustard algae for the last 3 weeks. My pool looks awful, and my triceps and traps are nearly dead...
