Now wait...something doesn't make sense. I thought that the molds and fungi (of which categories both pink slime and white water mold fall under) would be more likely to cause a problem when the water is much warmer? At least that seems to have been my experience. IF, however, the biofilms that cause problems for me accumulate more in cooler water then I should have more of a problem at the beginning of the season. The greatest problems this year with very stubborn mold/slime on the walls and in the DE grids occurred during the times when the water was probably around 80-88. Also, I still think that the busier the farmers are in the fields surrounding our property (on all sides except one - the pool is really a stone's throw from a very actively-worked field), the worse things are in the water.
Quite honestly, I don't care which bacterias and molds and other environmental products entering the water prefer which temperatures as long as I can keep them at bay with a minimal amount of extra work. Going over the entire surface of the pool with an automotive cleaning cloth draped around my pool brush got a bit old after about the 5th or 6th time (not to mention the number it does on your arm muscles). And, cleaning the grids every 5-6 days for awhile there got pretty old too. I swear I spent more time for a period of several weeks working on the pool then actually swimming in it or just relaxing on the deck. So the past few weeks - since the Ahhsome - HAVE indeed been AWESOME! LOL! Hate to have to close it up soon. Looks like our weather is heading much cooler by the end of the week.
