Swimming Pool How do I kill the algae in my swimming pool?
My pool is a 40000 gallon (20X40 feet) below ground swimming pool. It has poor circulation and it is very green. I just bought the house and I have been trying to kill the algae for about a month. The pump sucks from the skimmer, but not from the bottom drain. There are two water jets that feed water into the pool at opposite corners of the pool. Help!
What is your water chemistry? Take a sample of water (about a pint) down to the local pool store and have them run a Full Spectrum analysis on it. Make sure they test for
Total chlorine
Free chlorine
Combined chlorine
pH
Alkalinity
Hardness
Cyanuric acid
Total dissolved solids
Metals
Phosphates
Bring these results back and post them here or email them to me at robandliz1992@yahoo.com and we'll get you straightened back out. Don't purchase anything from the pool store when you have the water tested. Sometimes their recommendations aren't spot on for your exact pool.
Please include the material the pool is made of (vinyl or concrete/plaster), filtration system, chlorination system, chemicals used in the pool in the last two weeks, and any chemicals you have on hand at home now.
