Good morning,
My main drain has been capped due to a leak so we're trying to limp by this summer before looking at options. I knew we'd have a rough summer fighting algae because of poor circulation, but this one I can't figure out. I always end up with algae this time of year when the sun shifts so I keep it at SLAM level to combat stubborn algae. At 0730 this morning, I check the pool before the filter kicked on and there was no algae in the pool. Great. Go back out at 0830 after it kicked on and the shallow end is covered in algae, mostly in the direction of the return. I vacuum, brush, and backwash daily. Is it possible the algae is in the filter? How did it bloom THAT fast once the water started moving around? CC = 0.5
Thanks!
