Hello All
My pool opened on Friday. My pool guy did a heavy shock and added a PH balancer. The CYA level is only 16. After 1-2 days the water is crystal clear (could see the bottom in the shallow and deep ends. However, there were black/grey spots (assuming dead algae) so I vacuumed the dead algae on the bottom of the pool floor. I also have been brushing. When I vacuumed, it went away. But the next day it was back, just in different areas. It seemed to be less than there was initially. I have a cartridge filter too and only a hose vacuum that connects to the skimmer. Is my cartridge filter not filtering out the dead algae?
FYI, my chlorine levels are still really high.
I haven't added CYA yet. My pool guy said to wait until the pool was completely clean. Should I add that even tho I'm still getting dead algae?
