Stumped by persistent algae

Thanks for the comments, I've started with some partial water changes and after of week of this the pool is at least nice and blue now. Chlorine is at 0 but CYA is still at least 100. I'll continue the water changes and start dosing with some chlorine. Recommended test kit has been ordered. Should I use any stab. tabs in a floater. Thanks again for the comments.

No, you don't need any more CYA which is what stabilizer is. Yours is already too high which is why you are doing the partial water changes.

Got it, thanks.

Don't wait; start dosing with chlorine NOW! It is much, MUCH easier to avoid algae, than to clean it up. A single algae episode can consume a month's -- or in bad cases, a season's -- worth of chlorine!
