you might want to change your handle from pooldoc to poolGOD.

Uhm. No.

I'm pretty sure God understands EVERYTHING that is going on in your pool water; I don't even understand 1/3 of what somebody, somewhere knows about it . . . and NOBODY knows more than 1/3 of what's really going on in pool water, except God.

My older son (recent biochem graduate) got all excited a year or so ago, about the "signaling" going on in the "heterotrophic communities" that form symbiotically with the algae (when you get slime on your pool's walls) coating your pool. This is a very, very hot area of biology research.

What it comes down to, is all the different species (sometimes 100+ !) in the slime in your pool *talk* to each other, so they can avoid getting killed by chlorine (among other things). Guys with shiny new PhD's are doing extremely high tech work trying to figure out what 'they are saying to each other' -- and I can barely understand 1/4 of what these guys are writing about what the algae and germs are saying! And, they are just at the very beginning of understand what happens when algae forms in your pool!.

No. Not a pool god. Not at all. Not even close!

But, still a good guy who has helped an awful lot of people learn to care for their pools over the years!
