This forum absolutely rescued my pool a few years ago & I am forever grateful. Ever since starting the BBB method my pool is sparkling from the first day I open it to the day that I put the cover on it in September.

This post is for a friend who is in trouble with algae and has seen my pool & thinks I am a pool wizard & needs help. I am an expert at maintaining my pool (typically only adding bleach to maintain the proper chemistry) but I have no idea on how to solve a problem pool. 3 years ago this forum fixed my problems so I'm hoping it could do the same for my friends algae problem. I do not know what she has been tossing into her pool but I told her to stop.

Here's her numbers from a visit to the pool store yesterday (she isn't local enough for me to test her water):

25,000 gallon inground vinyl liner
CYA 150
total CH 10
free CH 9.4
PH 6.9
total alk 107
adj. total alk 62

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. And thanks again for straightening me out when I needed it.
