    Default Re: pump and light

    got the pump working by doing as you suggested with the impeller. thank you. that saved me alot of money. haven't worked on the pool light yet. need to clean up the pool first. it's a little green. which brings me to another question on how to begin to add the bleach or how to get started... after i get it vacuumed, do i add the bleach and get the chlorine adjusted? should i add the polquat at the same time as the bleach? thank you

    PH101, sorry to have missed this for a week . If it's not too late; hold off on the algicide until after the water is clear and CC free.

    Algicide is slightly mis-named, it's more of a preventive measure than an algae killer, for killing, you want chlorine, and lots of it. Keep the free cl level up to 'shock' level consistantly until the algae goes away (as shown by having no CC) and then let it drop back down to normal - at that point you can add the recommended dose of poly60 to help keep the algae from getting a 'foothold' if the chlorine level isn't kept up for a while.
