PlatinumPS,
I don't think Pool Forum is the place for you. There are plenty of other forums out there that may work out better for you to join. Coming here and being critical of the moderators and the tried and true methods advocated here is not a great way to make friends. You may want to keep looking for a forum that may better be to your liking.

Good luck.

Thought this site was for experienced pool cleaner such as myself.

This site is a place for people to come to learn about caring for their pools. However, often times, people 'in the biz' have a hard time fitting in and following the methods we advocate. This is not always true as we have some members who are in the industry such as Waste, Waterbear and PoolSean who are great assets to our forum.

As was mentioned above, we find it best if pool biz guys do a lot of reading on the site before jumping in giving advice. We also advise that they not come in and answer a lot of posts before they have done a lot of reading. You only joined today but have already posted several times. It is best for now if you refrain from further posting for awhile until you have been around for a period of time and have had time to learn what we are all about.

One thing that is never acceptable, however, is being rude. You were rude to Aylad in one of your posts above. That is not tolerated around here. For now, until the forum owner, Ben, takes a look at your registration and reads some of the posts you have made, any posts you make will stay in the moderation queue and will not appear on the forum.

Once you have killed the algae, you may want to perform a phosphate test on the water. Phosphates are the primary food source for Algae and you will have much better results in keeping your pool Algae-free is you can remove their food source. Remember, you must kill the algae prior to testing for phosphates in order to get an accurate reading! Good Luck!
