After a period of neglect from previous owners, and a few forgotten attempts at remedy guided by Leslie's pool store, our pool officially has some problems. Along the walls and the floor of my pool, there exists a hive mind of what I presume to be algae.
On the walls, there are large, VERY STUBBORN spots of algae which I think are the regular green. It isn't affected by our vacuum so the only way we have found to eliminate it is to hop in with a small brush and give it our all. Any normal brushing has seen no improvement onto it, and I fear brushing now because of the algae at the bottom. I'll get onto that now.
Now onto the floor, there are small dots of dark stuff. I am not sure, but I am guessing it's black algae. This makes me nervous because I know that this will be a very difficult, and ANNOYING, process that could last a loooong time. It has been completely unaffected by any vacuuming, so it definitely is in there strong. I will attach photos of the walls and the floor of the deep end to showcase what I'm looking at. (I attached them as thumbnails so they weren't as large)
My pool is clear, but I assume that will not be the case for long. What do you recommend and how should I go about fixing this problem? Feel free to give more details than I could ever handle, ant thank you very much in advance.
