Re: Algae!!!!
I am a new user this spring of this forum, and I had the same problem when I opened my pool this year. I thought I was putting in enough chlorine to shock the pool but was having no luck.
Then I found this site and followed the advice given TO THE LETTER (including buying the Taylor 2006c Test Kit) and my pool is now crystal clear. It works, it really does, but you first need to raise your FC levels to the numbers in the "best guess chart", and HOLD THEM THERE, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES! It's really as simple as that. Once your CC number is 0-0.5 ppm, you can let the chlorine drift down to normal letters. That is all there is to it, as far as clearing up the algae. Once that is done, you can work on those other levels ie: pH, Calcium hardness, etc etc.
