Hi all..... many issues with my pool last year, most of all I was unable to take care of it properly. That said I drained it as low as I could last winter, put in the required chems and closed it.
Opened it last weekend, it's green - no surprise. Took a week to fill it with well water that I know is full of metals, mostly iron.
I don't have my filter cartridges yet, but they should be here in a day or so.
Because of the green color, I know there's algae. My question is, should I add some algaecide now, or wait until I get the filter cartridges and then put in the metal out, wait the four days and then clorox it?
I don't want the algae to continue to grow, as the pool is in direct sunlight all day long.
I do have the TBF TF-100 kit, but I haven't taken any measurements because other than well water, I haven't added anything.
Best suggestion?
