Pool water algae question

[Skittyfish]

Eeww! Yuck! I swim in the pool because the thought of fish nibbling my toes in the lake just freaks me out. (Have had that happen, really odd feeling!)

I have also had some friends use algaecide every week to keep the pool cleared up. We never use it because of the way it foams up when we swim.

The idea of having to put the cover on sounds like it would work, but what a pain in the behind. Besides, swimming season will be over in a few weeks here...temps start falling at the end of August.

Temps start falling in a couple of weeks here, Kveeti already has a couple of inches on the ground where she is but, this is a grudge match against the algae. I beat it in my tank, I'll beat it in my pool

being in the pool industry my guess is you have mustard algae. Its abear to get rid of. There is a chem that will do the trick contact a pool store and get some and you wont have to cover your pool next time.

Ben, I missed your reply. Thanx for the info, I will persue that route. I have put so much algacide in the pool that the water isn't going green, but the algae isn't dying off either. And this is after five days with no pump circulation (voluntary power cutback). I am going to shock and cover as the season is only about three more weeks here till the first snow flies. (Hate those pesky snow flies )
