    Is this algae?

    We moved into this house two and a half months ago and this pool is about to put me over the edge. I found this site after two weeks of daily visits to the pool store and that not helping at all. I did manage to get the pool pretty clear with everything I learned here after a couple weeks of...

    I have no chlorine

    We just bought a house with a pool and have no idea what we are doing. I am trying to take care of it myself since my husband would rather fill it in than deal with it. I've been to the pool store and managed to get it from green to cloudy (previous owners filled before we moved in but didn't...
