    Thank you for the replies

    Here is a timeline...

    14 Apr - AlgaeMax & 2 pounds of Shock PLUS
    16 Apr - Sink & Sweep
    18 Apr - Phosphorous Reducer & 5 pounds of Shock PLUS
    26 Apr - Drained pool from 44" to 18" (Depth verified with tape measure)

    The pool was running continuously from the 14th to the 16th, and again from the 18th to the 26th. While running, I always kept at least one 3" Trichloro-s-Triazinetrione in the skimmer.

    The pool has one skimmer, one return jet, a 16" sand filter, and a 1 hp single speed pump.

    The owner said he replaced the sand last summer, and had algae then as well.

    Right now I have a 30 foot round, 18 inch deep green pond. I have skimmed the surface numerous times, and every time I go through the pool, more algae floats to the surface. I'm a little hesitant to add anything to the pool (including water) at this point.

    The quantities added were: 32 oz of Algae Eliminator MAX, 16 oz of Sink & Sweep, and 32 oz of Phosphate remover.

    Thanks again!!!
