Pool

Places to call

• Sodium Hypochlorite - 5 Gallons of liquid chlorine

Algae

• Algae eventually gets the upper hand on us each year. To fix it once it has happened:
  1. Make sure the pH and Alkalinity are balanced to maximize chlorine's effectiveness
  2. Buy a 4lb bucket Coral Seas of Green to Clean, and be sure to have lots of liquid chlorine on-hand. Follow instructions, including shocking the pool afterwards.
     • http://www.green-to-clean.com/FAQ.html
  3. The color should turn blue.
  4. Brush often (brushing is fairly quick and painless)
  5. Run filter continuously
  6. Clean out the filter with a backwash cycle often
  7. Note: Green-to-clean devours the chlorine in the pool so it will need to be replaced.
  8. Add algaecide every week or so.
• 9/10/12
  • I got the order wrong. I added a gallon or more of liquid chlorine to an already over-chlorinated pool. 12 hours later, I added 3+ lbs of Green to Clean. 12 hours later, the pool looked good and blue.

Maintenance

• Tablets should not be relied on exclusively. Eventually they release enough chlorine blockers to require the pool be drained & refilled.
