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.


Its green Algae season. Use shock, algae killer, and scrub walls.


I brushed it and fixed the broken pool cleaner.



I looked at converting to salt, and looked like it was as least or more
expensive than chlorine. Replace a couple hundred buck cell every few
years, and lots of electricity. You also might check for phosphate level.
Lots of leafs raise up the phosphate and encourage algae bloom. I use
liquid in the winter and tabs rest of year. Using liquid reduces the
conditioner which the tabs add. Mine was cloudy , but acid was low, and
1000 phosphate level. Or phosphate may be just a way for Leslie to sell
more expensive additives.
