The Algae Wars Continue - - -

Believe me i know how frustrating it is fighting algae..I'm just about finished with the algae issue I've dealt with for the last 5 months, clean outs, tons of chlorine ( bleach) and DTE. My pool filter is an ancient ( 40 years old) Anthony Pool system, for a 35k gallon, 35ft long by 15ft wide pool, alot of work. I tested the pool this morning and I'm a little concerned with the results.....help.

ph-7.8
chlorine-1.0
alk-180
cy-150
Th-100

unklebuk--The result that would concern me the most is the chlorine level of 1 ppm being WAYYYY too low for a CYA of 150. For a CYA that high, you should be keeping your chlorine between 8-15 ppm at ALL times, otherwise you're inviting the algae back.

What is concerning you? Also, if you would please start a new thread instead of adding into the bottom of this one if you're needing help, it would help keep things easier. You would get more views and responses, and it will be easier to keep the two pools and their respective problems straight....

Thanks!
