It's 10% and will be on sale during Memorial Day weekend for 2 for $5.00 :wink:

Looks great. Here is the finished product over at my place. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it! :cheers:

Don't worry, I'm not that Dang motivated! :wink: My pool is not nearly as bad as shown in the pics above. I spent an hour tonight scrubbing inside the pool. There in no "green" algae left, just crusty gray left. A few spots show green after scrubbing but not many. I think after a week of...

It is a stainless steel 6" brush. If you take it off the pole and use it by hand scrubbing real hard, it will break up the outer layer of crust on the black algae, otherwise the algae laughs at it... The bristles are stiff, but the algae is tougher! The pool was replastered 3 yrs ago and is in...

Okay thanks! Ill let it come down a bit and attack it with pucks on a stick.

The pool is 99% clean just some black algae inbetween tiles and some spots on the wall. Should I lower the level of FC to normal and just attack the algae with a triclor puck?

Okay, im at my wits end with this black algae in my pool. I have kept the pool at shock level or very close by for a week now. (there are some times it slipped below recommended shock level but not for more than a couple of hours) Anyways my black algae has developed a force field. I have...

yes and yes

Ill keep a close eye on it, just seems a lot of chlorine loss for just a few spots of algae. Don't know what else it could be though.

Been shocking for a week now and I am still losing a lot of chlorine overnight. Example, last night after the sun went down my FC was 24.5 This morning, it was 12 The pool is crystal clear other than a few spots of black algae that won't die. Will that much clorine be lost to those few spots...

No worries, looks like I can get the test by itself from tftestkits then. Don't mind spending the money as long as it does what I need it to do.

Im in the process of shocking the pool. I bought the test from leslies that was recommended, but it only measures FC up to 5. I had to take in a test sample to Leslie's to determine when I got to FC 16 as recommmended. I want to do the overnight test, however I can't exactly do the test if I...

TC 16 Helps when the chlorine you use is fresh. :?

So glad you recommended Ace considering I own one! :-D Going to go home at lunch and rehit it with some fresh clorine.

I think the clorine I have is bad. Its been sitting out in the garage for about a year. I've added about 5 gallons so far and am barely at FC 3. I'll have to buy some fresh clorine tomorrow and try to get the Dang FC to raise into shock level!

Not exactly where I need to be... :? Looks like time for more chlorine. I added 240oz of 10% already.

1 hr later FC = 3 TC = 4

Will do. Here is what it currently looks like. When I get the algae under control, I'm going to try the Borax thing out and see if I can get it to sparkle.

Thanks for the help, just wanted to make sure I understood the charts correctly. I will remeasure in about an hour to guage the FC level of the pool. Thanks again for the help.

I've been having a issue with algae on the sides of the pool. Had one of those cheapo test that indicated chlorine was just fine. Came here and figured out that the test was useless and to get a real tester. Bought the recommended tester and got these results: FC = 0 (might be the reason...
