    Algae/testing

    The kit I ordered sent the wrong testing container. That is why I was getting a pinkish colour, not yellow. I’m sending it back but will use the second photo as my guide until I re dive the new one. The last photo is what was in my kit. Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Jan

    Conditioner

    Can someone tell me the difference between these 2? The orange label says use once and the purple label says use to maintain. I’m confused. I’ve only ever used the orange label one but my husband came home with both.

    Yes, conditioner, conditioner. Will it clear? Anything I can do to help it or just leave it?

    Is Clarifier Conditioner?

    Also, was never green. Blue when started. Added borax and the clarifier,picture I sent earlier, and that’s when it turned cloudy. PH was 6.8 and CYA was 30

    So this isn’t what I should be using for CYA?

    Is Clarifier Conditioner?

    If you don’t recommend clarifiers, what do you recommend to increase CYA?

    Hayward pump

    Thank you. I think that’s the issue. Put a plastic bag over it and the air leaking blew up the bag like a balloon.

    Pictures look like pollen or algae? It's POLLEN!

    How did you get rid of it??? I’m pretty sure I’ve got dead mustard algae on the bottom of my pool, in spots. I brush and vacuum and each day it’s back in same spots. It dissipates when touched. I’ve been at t for weeks now

    Algae???

I’ve been fighting possible algae these last few weeks and used strips for shocking the pool while I waited to the test. We had a hurricanecone thru so I vacuumed and...

    Algae???

    Had a hurricane pass thru. Vacuumed the pool. Made sure chlorine was >10, as only had strips to use that day. Ither Chen’s good. Covered with leaf/winter cover. Just took the cover off and no sign of the powdery debris. Does that mean it wasn’t algae? Maybe silt and pollen? I’ve been working on...
