I have Algae

Raz,

I misspoke. I did not read your post correctly and thought you had a blow-up Intex pool.

Ted's advice for your pool makes much more sense.

Well, we debated a bit, and then decided to go ahead and drain it. This is a new pool. We used to always have the kind with the blow up ring, but this is our first year with the one that has the metal poles for a frame.

I guess next year we will know the outcome, eh? Overall it looks good, and there doesn't really appear to be algae stuck on the sides the way I expected to see. Thanks for the advice.

Also: This pool is meant to be drained and taken down each year, so I would guess that would be fine, "duh" I never even thought about that before, only b/c we've always planned to leave it up!
