I am watching Henc's pool again after he went back to Europe. It was
greener than Kermit the frog the other day. I am still not convinced.
I bumped up the cell current after I got it cleaned up.



BTW ... usually there is also a "super chlorinate" cycle option that
will run the cell continuously for 24 hours. Similar to adding shock.

If the pool is green, you may have to add some liquid shock anyway.
The chlorine generated by the salt system is designed to *maintain* a
safe chlorine level in the pool, not to do an initial cleaning or startup.

Sounds to me like somehow the pool got way too low in salt and the cell
couldn't keep up at the setting is was at.


I smacked it with 2 bags of shock.
Normally I would do 10-15 gallons of liquid for that much algae but he
didn't have any.
