Hi,
I thought that it might be worth me posting an update.
Turned pump off on the pool a couple of weeks ago, and looked at it earlier this week, and noted that the water is clear!
Appears do be alot of very fine dust all over the bottom of the pool, steps etc. Could it be that my shock killed the algae, and that the pump was simply recirculating the very fine particles?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Am planning on hoovering the bottom tomorrow, to get all of the 'dust' out, and then switching the pump back on for a while. Not planning to use the pool again until next spring, so am not too bothered about wasting a load more shock on it.
Here are some pics:
(believe me, the water is clear here, perhaps the lighting does not show this. Previously it was not possible to see beyongd the second step)
(this shows where I have brushed some of the 'dust' off the step with my finger)
(this shows a bucket of water taken straight from the pool - compare this with my earlier pic).
Please let me know if I am unnecessarily geting my hopes up!
Thanks in advance.
