Newbe dealing with Algae

[zteller]

Thanks a lot for your help. The pool has cleared up nicely after we followed your directions over a four-day period. You have saved us a pool-load of money.

Just a quick note--in the future, don't add anymore copper-based algaecide. Copper tends to create all kinds of new problems for a pool. If you must use algaecide (which is more effective as an algae preventative than a killer of an existing bloom), use polyquat 60%. The best fix for algae is always going to be bleach!
