Man you guys are far too convincing…
I hadn’t thought of a SWCG. Thanks for sharing that idea. I’ll look into automation.
If I got rid of the company next week. Drained water and started over on my own…is there another option for being gone for a full 7-8 days? Maybe I could get a neighborhood kid to come by mid week and add some chlorine? SWCG sounds like a good plan for the future. But I can’t make that change myself before August and I have at least 3 week long trips between now and then.
I think I’m seeing all the things you’re saying I would see. I’ve been concerned that the pebble surface is breaking down because of the companies management of my water. That definitely stinks. He does throw ash in the water. But not every treatment. Maybe once a month, maybe even less often.
I’ve wondered if it could be mustard algae, but I don’t know how to tell for sure. So far it’s definitely only been on the walls. The water is always clear till I brush.
It is sad when looking at the work ahead of me. So I guess next step is to make the hard decision about which pain to take on. It’d sure be nice if I could just tell these guys you caused the problem so fix it. Sadly I think you’re right that they won’t be able to give me a good solution. Ever heard of a chemical company having to cover the damage they caused to a pool surface with poor water management?
