Hello! Before hiring someone to acid wash, I wanted to get the group's thoughts. I have 2 probs.. 1. For the last couple of years, I have had persistent algae in shallow end on steps, see photo. Tried to shock, scrub, shock, scrub, to no avail. It recedes if FC is in high normal range...

We are renovating our 10 year old pool. The contractor is about to install Natur2 system but seems like we should nix the plan based on what I'm reading here. My question is what pool equipment do I need if we nix the Nature2? We are not fans of saltwater, want to stick with chlorine...
