in addition to adding appropriate levels of Cl- would covering pool to block out sunlight help fight algae?
Algae is a plant, requiring light for photosynthesis, right?
Just thinking, if I get an algae bloom like I did last year while on vacation, would it be worth it to cover pool while away 2 weeks? or if not, would it help fight the algae?
Took me a month last year to fight off the algae- that's when I discovered this sight and found out the CYA screws around with the Cl, so I spent 2-3 weeks without enough Cl to do the job...
