Hi ya'll!! I have been lurking on this site for months, reading Everything. My husband says I am obsessed. It is kind of ironic that this morning I ordered the test kit. This afternoon I went for a swim and I have small black spots (about 20) on the side of my pool wall. My husband and I both agree it looks like someone scratched the pool and messed up the side. I scraped it with my fingernail and nothing cam off. We bought this home about a year ago and have had a "pool guy". On June 13, 08 I had a SWG installed (it still does not work) but that is another story. I thougnt that I could do this pool thing on my own so I let the pool guy go. I do not know what my numbers are (until I get my kit). I know my chlorine (according to the strips) is ok for pool. My question is how do I know if this is black algae or someone (3 kids) rubbed the sides with something rough.. Sorry to ramble on but I am sooo stressed I do not even think I am going to be able to sleep tonight. My water is clear (at least I know that much).
Thankyou so much for your help
