Removing Dead Algae from the pool-SOS

[ssawyan]

Dave S. Very funny post! Things look slightly better than they did 4 hours ago, but I am off to get some borax and chlorox. For as much PH as I put in there is hardly any blip on the test.

Thanks again for taking the time to post and for also giving me a few laughs. Just curious, do you add the chlorox through the skimmer? It seems like I have seen suggestions for both methods.

A high phosphate level is definitely going to be the cause of high chlorine demand. You are just gonna go right through that bleach like it is water. Also the best thing once you get the ph balanced is to use a 10 dollar bottle of floc, add that to the water, let everything settle out and your pool will by crystal clear over night. No need to waste the money on the bleach yet.
