New to forum, black algea problem.

[lucas2]

I was using the pool perfect stuff, but havent put it in since I started at this site. I put 3 bottles of black algea tx from the pool store, I think that is what put me into this big mess that I just cleaned up.But it did cut down the algea by at least 90%. You are right, algea was growing all winter and I was too preoccupied with other stuff to care. Now I am paying for it. Been dumping chlorine in for weeks now. Don't have a good test kit yet, to measure high chlorine, just guessing and trying to error on the high side.Been wanting to do the borax just a little intimidated. I have a crappy cartridge filter. I am planning to change it out for DE soon, but first trying to get this algae thing and my pump problem handled before I start any more projects.

===================================

Pool is plaster. filter is brand new intelliflo. Filter is cartridge. Volume I am unsure of. Post the formula and I will take measurements.

===================================

I googled it and found a handy pool volume calculator by pentair. Says mine is 20,000 gallons.
