Hello, Im new here and just found your sight. I hope someone can help.
Ive been dealing with some very stubborn blackish staining on my pool and after adding the PoolRX as was suggested by the local pool store which has been in the pool for a couple weeks. It didn't get rid of the black staining algae so I added some Super Black Algicide yesterday to try and piggy back with the PoolRX, still was not helping get rid of the staining even with daily brushing.So this morning I added a dry pool shock and thats when the black staining got real black. Like I added the dry pool shock an hour before the pool filter turned on and the floor of my pool turned black. Ive been just reading what might have happened and I think its likely a copper reaction with the chlorine. The PoolRX thing is a block of copper/zinc/silver and Im readin that this might have contributed to the deep staining when I shocked it this morning. My question is now what do I do? My light algae stains are now very vivid black on the floor of my pool? Should I try some VitC and a metal brush from the pool store? Im a little upset my pool store didnt warn me about the possibility of this type of thing happening after buying the PoolRx.
