OK....I've had the pool for 8 years and have never had the problem I have today even when the balance was off a bit. Right now, PH is about 7.6, chlorine is 11, and alkalinity is 100. 2 days ago after shocking on Saturday, the chlorine was at 15 with PH of 8.2. Monday, I added 1/2 gal acid and removed tabs from chlorinator. Have brushed about 4 times in last few days and it just keeps coming back!!! I don't get it. The pool store is telling me I should add PhosFree, but I have never had to to that before and after reading on this Forum, it sounds like the phosphates diatribe is not real. But yet.....I still have stinkin algae! so now I am wondering if I should try the Phosfree. Any thoughts out there in Pool Land?!
Thanks!
