Swimming Pool Red Algae Problem
I would appreciate any input. Thanks Thank you for your question If you have a red algae problem the best way to handle it is to raise your chlorine level up to 10Xs the normal level. This link will give you the best way to handle it: Red Algae This chlorine page has a chart for super-chlorination: Swimming Pool Chlorine Remember to keep your chlorine level between 1.5ppm - 3.5ppm and check the cyanuric acid level. It should be between 20ppm - 40ppm. Get a Taylor Reagent FAS-DPD K-2006 pool water test kit. It takes a little getting used to but it's the most accurate kit.
