May I clarify a bit here? The water is never really cloudy, which unfortunately is the name of this thread. The water is probably 95% clear in my estimation. I just have occasional faint patches of yellow on the north-facing side of the pool. This is clearly a function of my NOT brushing the...

MKnauss, thanks. Final question. I have a SWG pool and loath the idea of SLAMing with a bunch of liquid chlorine. Is this really my only option for algae? The Yellow Out did seem to do the trick for a couple of months. Help me here, what is so wrong with cranking the SWG to 100% for 3 or 4...

Sorry for the delay. The container reads, "Yellow Out" - the manufacturer is "NC Brands LP" Norwalk, CT. The label further says the principal functioning agent is "Di-Ammonium sulfate ...90%". There you go. Have I committed an unforgivable sin?? Thanks!

Yes, I tested daily and after about three days of 100% run on the SWG there was plenty of chlorine. Remember, this was like 8 weeks ago.

So, first, thanks in advance for your help. I have a 14,000 gallon SWG pool with a Pentair 60 DE filter, and a variable speed pump (running the SWG at between 30-50%) for 10 hours daily. Just hosed out the filter panels completely two weeks ago. In the last couple of months, I did need to a...

I have a DE Pentair FNS Plus Filter tank (about 14 years old in good shape) which I think (forgive me) is rated "60"...and stands about 4' tall. I replaced all of the filter panels exactly three years ago. We live in Southern California, 14,000 gallons, salt water generator system. Light...

My goodness. Very sobering reply. I have only used a total of 8 ozs of the product (in the last two weeks) since the fall of 2016. Have I essentially poisoned my pool?! I am using a DPD liquid basic test kit (which I think you indicated is now giving me a "false" bromine reading instead of...

Forgive me! Subject Should Read - Mustard Algae! I have a question on the treatment of Mustard Algae. Hoping that Chem Geek user might see this as well, as he seems a complete genius in this area.... Quick question. Last summer we had mustard algae on the north facing side of our pool (bio in...
