Have just successfully won a battle against black algae and am very proud and gratefully to report that I am now 100% on the BBB method of pool maintenance. Just this AM, after 3 days, got my TA to 100 using Waterbears method of lowering pH to 7.0-6.8 and then aerating. Worked great. Everything else in line and pool has never looked better.
Novice question -
What are the "guidelines", if any, for running my Polaris ? When to run it - when not to run it, etc ?
I have split my pump run times to 5 hours during the day and 4 hours at night.
I know it picks up "stuff" off the bottom but thought I'd read where it really doesn't add much "value" to the filter pump as a "swizel stick" to a clean pool.
Also, from a knowledge perspective, am assuming that CO2 gas venting through aeration decreases (on a % and\or volume basis) as pH rises and that is what leads to pH stabilization. Is that correct ?
