Hello All,
I have been debating on replacing my 1.5hp Pentair for the Circupool 1.5 for a month now. I was waiting on deciding which SWG to buy and install. I did let my pool go this winter knowing my chlorine would soon be generated...then my pump suddenly died. It's been about 5 days and my pool is horrific. The green algae spread so quickly and it's almost brown from the density. My SWG and pump arrive on Monday but I need to know if I'm damaging my pool. I just swept it tonight and it's very bad.
I thought about draining it last month to help with lowering my CYA from an 8 to a 5 anyway so should I do that today?
Does having exposed algae stop it from spreading?
Should I add chemicals even though the pump isn't not circulating?
I notice most of the algae brushed off easily but the thin area above the water line and in the corners are harder to get off.
Any advice would be helpful.
Note: if you know of a link online here about draining the pool without a pump please advise.
