Removing Dead Algae from the pool-SOS

[duraleigh]

Good holiday weekend to you!!,

Forget the phosphates, Go to the grocery store today and get some "20 mule team borax" to get your pH up into an acceptable range. (7.2 - 7.6)This is an important step and you should not delay it. You'll probably need two, maybe three, boxes...we need to know the size of your pool (gallons).

Secondly, buy quite a few large jugs of Clorox. You can't get too many 'cause you'll need them later. Post the size of your pool and someone will help you with the correct dosage.

You'll need some CYA very soon but post your gallons before we recommend how much.

You don't need to run, but you should "briskly" go get that borax and put it in the pool (into the skimmer, pump running)

Post your gallons before adding it.

Happy Memorial Day and thanks for the quick response!

The pool is 24 ' round and 4 feet deep.

I have a large supply of the PH plus, so I added a significant amount after your post.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.
