12x24 think I used to much algacide my pool got cloudy and real blue
This normal ?
Is it possible for me to show what my pool looks like ? I've never seen anything like it, it's real blue
Re: 12x24 think I used to much algacide my pool got cloudy and real blue
Cloudy and really blue could be several things, but the first is usually too much calcium, if the cloud is milky white.
There's all kinds of algaecide and we recommend against ALL of them, with one exception: Polyquat 60% as the sole active ingredient. All the others create staining, foaming, etc.
The best algaecide is, not surprisingly, chlorine.

You can post pictures, by uploading them to Picasa, Flickr, Google Plus, Photobucket, etc and then linking to them using the http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/images/...nsertimage.png button.
However, like you, we'll only be guessing until you have valid test info AND a 'history' of your pool.
You'll need either a K2006 (much preferred) or a HTH 6-way drops kit. The testkit page explains: http://pool9.net/tk/
In the meantime, if you have dealer test results, they may help. Post any recent results you have.
Also, we'd need to know about your pool: http://pool9.net/pf-equip-form/
Other than that, all I can tell you is (a) keep your chlorine up, (b) make sure your pH is between 7 & 8, and (c) make sure your pump is running 24/7

I can't be home when they do it I'm always at work unfortunately. They stick a shop vac in and suck it out somehow.
