One final question about the FC shock level. I use the Pool calculator and I just want to make sure I should be using the Mustard algae # for shocking black algae

Bet you have life insurance... :lol:....Wife and Life bad medicine.

I have a full metal stainless brush but these black algae spots are hard to break with the pole and metal brush end. It might sound crazy but I will leave the FC this weekend at normal levels and take a metal brush to these algae spots on a personal level. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have the taylor 2006. I use it for more than just the pool. I am on a well water system and I use to measure my FC on a chlorine injection system. No strips here :whip:

SLAM... never heard of it, thank you for the link. I just read about it and it makes sense. Last time this happened I would shock the pool and 24 hours later the chlorine would drop to normal. I couldn't figure out why that was happening but now it makes sense. I think I will wait and SLAM...

Here is a photo. Its a minor case of black algae. Random spots here and there but its black algae. :(

So do to my own fault I let my FC get low and I stopped using a weekly dose of Polyquat 60 for a few weeks and I have a few small spots of black algae again. I have a couple of questions please and I would appreciate your help. I have a plaster pool in FL, I own a wire brush and I've shocked...

Interesting. I use round-up or the Walmart brand to kill the weeds. I never thought of it as a mildew, mold killer.

Hello everyone. I have an issue with black and green mold, mildew on my Travertine pool deck. Any suggestions on how to clean it up would be appreciated. The travertine was never sealed by the way. Photos provided. Thank you.

Thank you. This forum once again has helped me save $$$ and time.

I went to a Leslies Pool store to get some dry Stabilizer (CYA). The employee told me not to use dry CYA in a pool with a SWG. The dry CYA damages the SWG. He suggested I buy the liquid CYA. I have used the liquid CYA before for small adjustments and for its convenience but it cost twice as...

I figured the straps just keep the pleats open and lined up for max filtration. I would replace it and save it as a backup as "waste" suggested but I have a backup no name filter for just that. Three filters would be a bit much. Thanks guys / gals.

My Hayward cartridge filter has managed to lose those straps around the filter that hold the pleats in place. I bought the filter aprox 11/07 or its 2 years old. It has no tears and works well. Is it time for a replacement due to the straps missing?
