Thank you. I guess this is going to take some time especially since this is for a summer camp and kids are in the pool :/ We have a lake on our property that is used and even with showering off it is a problem. Not sure how I'm gonna do this properly but I'll figure it out.

Hey guys. So I've got a 50,000 gallon pool that I get to "deal" with on a regular basis. I currently have mustard algae and last night I slammed the pool to where the FC was at least 34. I came back this morning and the FC was 16. That just seems really weird that it was used up that quickly...

Hey guys. This is my first post so bear with me. I have had an issue with yellow algae the past week or so and I believe I have finally got it under control (fingers crossed). Tonight I went and vacuumed to waste the (I'm assuming dead algae) algae that was left on the bottom of the pool. It...

Hey guys. I manage a 50,000 gallon pool at a summer camp in North Carolina. Glad to have found this place.
