Hi everyone.
It seems we have a little problem with one of the salt water pools.... (just came back today Oct 7th from checking this)..
As it is a new pool we are taking care of, our operator reported that after doing the regular cleaning and scrubbing and checked the pH level and chlorine for a few weeks, he found that all of his efforts were in vain. Every 4 days he would find again the same areas of the pool with algae.. mustard colored type or yellow he said...
He said that there is a direct connection from the city water (quality of water over here is not good, plus is very hot, around 90 to 104ºF) to the pool, and exactly where the water flows in from this connection, he will always find this algae at the bottom of the pool.
When he told me this I got worried because I don't if this "direct city water connection" is normal??
Has anybody had a problem like this before? Or does anybody has any general suggestions for now?
It is night already and will try to get more info. in the next days, but I was thinking in the need for a filter before the water flows into the water or make a complete new connection to the pump, filters, etc.?
Sorry I my questions read a little lost... Don't know exactly which questions to be made to have an initial diagnosis of this problem..
Thanks!
