I was thinking about this today. Thankfully this doesnt really apply to my pool cause its shallow and I haven't experienced any mega algae outbreaks, but.....!!!
What happens if algae develops in someone's pool underneath the drain covers when they have really deep (8 feet+) pools? I know algae can sometimes develop a protective barrier over itself that needs to be scrubbed so the chlorine can actually kill the algae. So... what do pool owners do in this situations? Do they have to snorkel dive and remove the drain cover to brush underneath? Or is there an alternative? (Let's assume for the sake of argument, SLAMMING doesn't kill the algae under that drain cover).
Does this scenario ever happen to people? I'm wonder if, since there's a drain and lots of water flow right by, it's unlikely for algae to survive there during a SLAM because the water there definitely wouldn't be stagnant... Any thoughts?
Just curious I suppose.
