pink algae and other problems

[PoolDoc]

Don't panic; do all the following instead:

1. Get a cheap OTO testkit (or a Walmart HTH 6-way if available)
2. Raise your chlorine to the orangish-yellow range (~20 ppm)
3. Compete the PF Pool Chart, to allow us easy access to your pool info:

4. Look at the test kit info page in my signature, and order a K-2006
5. Brush your pool thoroughly.
6. Check into the cost of having your pool professionally drained. (It's tricky to drain a liner pool without ruining the liner.)

Do not panic; a few bromine tabs are not going to make or break things. (How few was it?)
