    Algae or Pollen -- Green, Cloudy Water

    Seems like an algae may be gone, but still has a green tint to it. My numbers both last night and this morning were the same: FC 16 CC .5 CYA 45 pH 7.5 I think I may have to break down and have the pool guy take a quick look. He thinks that when I added the solar fish it might have coated...

    Algae or Pollen -- Green, Cloudy Water

    It is rainy here this morning. Here are the latest numbers: FC 14.5 (dropped from 17 last night) CC .5 pH 7.8 CYA 30 I added 1/2 gallon liquid shock and 1 qt. acid this morning. Seems like I need to add some stabilizer to get the CYA up again. It does look less green today and still very...

    Algae or Pollen -- Green, Cloudy Water

    Our pool has gone from crystal blue to green and cloudy. We have a 20k gallon, gunite pool with pebble finish and attached spa that was installed last year. We have had incredible pollen this past month in Massachusetts and I am not sure if the pool just couldn't handle it. It was opened by a...
