    Orange algae ring around pool

    Thanks for the tip! I'll try that this weekend and see how it goes. - - - Updated - - - Yeah, but isn't it a lot cheaper to use tabs? I have been using these same tabs for like three years and the CYA was never an issue until now. After I replaced like 65% of the water three months ago...

    Orange algae ring around pool

    I used liquid chlorine from Home Depot to SLAM. Then after it was good (so I thought), I went back to tablets to maintain the chlorine like I had been doing for the past three years. Sorry for the confusion.

    Orange algae ring around pool

    1. Taylor K-2006C 2. 5 FC 0 CC 7.6 pH 90 TA 680 CH CYA was off the charts, literally. It didn't even get to the 100 marker. To give you an idea, it was between the 1.8 and 4.5 markers on the container. That's strange because it is way higher than after I drained 65% off pool and SLAMed just...

    Orange algae ring around pool

    I have been taking care of our pool since we bought the house three years ago. There's never been any real issues outside of orange algae coming once at the end of each summer. I would just use the powder thing from the store to shock and it goes away until the next year. However, this summer...
