    Sounds good.

    1. Begin dosing with 1/2 gallon of PLAIN 8% store bleach each evening. If you get to orange-tinted yellow on the OTO kit, skip the dose.

    2. Run your pump 24/7.

    3. Send multiple full resolution pics of your pump and filter to poolforum@gmail.com. Include your user ID (tmcdonald) and the thread number (22990).

    1.) will do - what is "oto kit"

    2) I assume on recirculate?

    3) I will do that as I can...I think the brand is jacuzzi on both..I found a pump+filter system online that looks very similar to mine but it's for above ground pools...not sure how much that matters.

    How long do I do the bleach treatment? Also, I think I've got about 25,000 gallons if that makes any difference...

    Thanks,

    -Todd

    Use recirculate if you still have live algae.

    You need to maintain high chlorine until all the algae is gone.
