Hi Guys,
My Name is Tom and I am in the Agoura/Westlake/Malibu area of CA. My pool's name is Anthony, born in the 70's and addicted to yellow algae.
We moved in here about 6 years ago - been mostly a smooth ride other then brushing off some yellow algae. Nobody told me tabs will end in high CYA so I have been using those for years. Last year I got a solar cover which brought the temp up to 95 at peak. I had zero yellow algae all summer and still don't know why for the first summer in years it didn't grow. I put 4 tabs in once a week and that was it.
But this year...different story. I recently did a treatment with yellow out and an enormous amount of chlorine. Currently, its crystal clear but I already see a bit of yellow coming back in some spots. Not invasively, but yet back.
That's the story of my pool!
So excited to have found this forum with so much information. Just ordered the Test Kit, can't wait to get to the bottom of this. Thanks for the info and chat soon!!
