DaBomb650 - One thing I've learned here, is more times than not, doing nothing is better than doing something. Reacting to an Algae bloom, or your filter shooting a stream of water 30 feet in the air being the exception (you get my point). Check out more of the forums, and relax. Check here first if you have a question, most matters can wait a day or two before you need to even think about doing something, so asking here will get you a good answer rather than doing the 3 AM store runs for something. Really, after 5 years of pool ownership now, I have found relaxing is much easier and I find the pool pretty much sorts it out itself as long I as I keep the chlorine levels in place, and monitor the others. Any more I only add chlorine and acid upon occasion. Have to shock if I screw up and forget to fill my chlorinator and algae gets a foothold (but it still is nothing to panic over, some shock, a little brushing, good to go). I find I work more with the skimmer (manual) than anything with the outdoor pool.
