I don't think I got the right stuff

Hi,

I've got the beginning of an algae problem. I'm working pretty constantly to keep it at bay, but the surface of the pool is generally going a bit green-ish at least once a week. So what I could find was HTH super algae guard. I'm going to use it as recommended on the container, but when I look at the ingredient list, it's got 2 of them at 30% each making up the 60%. I guess I'm posting this because the formulation may have changed - it's a slightly different name than your picture.

Hi. Algaecide isn't going to take care of your algae. Chlorine, brushing, vacuuming, and patience will. The Polyquat 60% is used for maintenance only by those people who choose to use it, (I don't), or when closing the pool for the season.

Take your FC up to shock level for your CYA and keep it there until the water is clear, your CC is <0.5, and you lose no more than 1ppm FC overnight. (Ask for more info if that doesn't ring a bell).

What does Nature2 (UNCHANGED) mean? Is there still a cartridge in there?

[SL Dan]

Yeah, because that's the way it was left when the pool guy vanished. It's in-line, but that's all. I'd remove it, but that's a plumbing job.

And yes, could definitely use more information.

Oh Lordy. I have had a crazy day (My boss got fired and work was up for grabs!!!) and just saw your post and that you have had no responses yet. I have been discussing the future with co-workers until we closed the bar... I promise I will get back to you in the morning with a more clear head.........

I have looked at your previous threads and can't find info on how you test your water. That is critical to our response. Let us know.

I just use a basic test kit with the five liquids. It's what I know to do.

Ok. Give us all your CURRENT results then. (Can't believe I am still awake. Fading fast!)
