    Can I slam every week to prevent algae ever returning

    Thanks for the clarification. Then my CC is .5 - - - Updated - - - Still evaluating. I'll probably get a SWG eventually. 1st season was pucks. This season is liquid chlorine. I'll make my decision for the 3rd season. What I hope never to see again is Algae. BTW, I'm getting the chlorine for...
