Algae!!!!

[CarlD]

If you have a Leslies Pools nearby, their Dichlor is pretty good--they don't doctor it. So is their Trichlor tabs. It's pricy but if you cannot get sufficient bleach it's a reasonable alternative.

Please read our stickies on fighting algae. They DO work.

B-B-B is a process of doing what's simple, but what is effective. You CAN do everything with bleach (though I prefer the double-strength Liquid Chlorine--but it's the same thing). However, it doesn't mean you cannot use the other standard chlorine sources: Dichlor powder, Tri-chlor tabs, and Cal-Hypo powder. Just use them wisely.

Thanks Carl, The mananger of Leslies is an idiot and I try not to go there when he is working, he messed me up on some parts to my pool by ordering the wrong part (that took the slow boat from China) even though I took the old part in with the part number and tht delayed repairing my pool all last year, so I now order parts online from a company called Aqua-man in Az, I get personal service from the tech, he knows all the parts to my pool , has them in stock and the prices are reasonable, shipping is ultra fast as well, ( at times I got next day delivery at regular price).
I sat down with my husband and went over all the instructions on algae on this site and now we both have a better understanding of what we are dealing with.
Thanks again for the forum and now that I am not going to be spending a fortune on products that don't work I can complete my membership next payday so I don't have to wait for my posts to be moderated, hehe!!
