Nice to find you people! I have been an above ground pool owner for the past 5 years. I have a 30 foot round above ground pool that is surrounded by a large deck and adjacent platform. I have had five years of relatively low pool maint. until this year and I have been plagued with Algae bloom after algae bloom not to mention a constant green sediment on the bottom of my pool. I have been reading and researching this site and the first thing I'm doing today is getting a testing kit and check out my CYA levels as I have dumped a ton of bag shock and bleach into my pool, which clears it up, almost, and then it comes right back...I've also learned that once I get things leveled out I will be shocking with bleach only...This site is great and I'm glad I found you all...as a side note my true dream is to convert to an in-ground pool that i hope to do in the next 5-10 years...
