    Help! Ph Too Low - Pool walls black

    I need some help! My Ph was too low for an extended period of time. The pool was neglected and was full of debris. The walls have a wavy black tint on them all over the pebble tech. Is it likely black algae, or something else? I can take pictures and post them if that would help, but the...

    I have had a couple nights where I noticed from inside the house that the pump did not sound normal, went out to check and it had lost prime and was running dry for who knows how long! It has only happened a couple times in the past few months and I run the pump every night, so it works fine...
