I am having a problem killing some annoying Black Algae that has started to grow in my pool.
I have looked at many sites and they provide some useful information for concrete, plaster and other non-vinyl lined pools. Many of the suggestions involve scrubbing with a wire brush and pouring chlorine directly onto the effected areas. Of course, these solutions will not work with vinyl.
My pool is an in ground 12x28, vinyl-lined pool. All of my chemical levels are in balance and the water is clear. My only issue is the stubborn Black Algae that keeps coming back.
I have tried a copper based algaecide and super chlorinating with lots of scrubbing and vacuuming. This works for a day or over night and then it is right back where it was, so I start all over again. I have been using this process for about two weeks now and the stuff goes away and then comes right back.
Any help that you can give me would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Frank
