Hi everyone,
We would appreciate your expert advice. We’ve moved to the Houston area 2 years ago and have had algae problems off and on but now we can’t get rid of it.
What we’ve done:
Readings from this morning:
Free chlorine: 5.02
Total chlorine: 5.02
pH: 7.8
Alkalinity: 146
Calcium hardness: 57
CYA: 49
Copper: 0.9
Iron: 0.2
Although we have 2 chlorine dispensers, both are dialed off and the last action taken was to add liquid chlorine 3 days ago.
Thanks!

What we’ve done:
- Corrected low water flow in the pool
- replaced pool pump (it died)
- replaced DE filter with cartridge (easier to clean and we had to clean it so often)
- added another chlorine dispenser
- drained the pool 18 inches twice to bring down CYA
