Brush the pool bottom to stir up the algae. Shock and algecide to kill it, then put a Slime Bag Polishing or X-tra Polishing size bag on the return water line going back into the pool to remove the fine live and dead algae particles. Rinse your filter and the Slime Bag every day until the pool is clear. Pool filters don't filter these fine particles well, but the Slime Bag will. The Slime Bag Polishing filter bag is about $40 from some online retailers or $50 from http://www.cleanerpools.net/

Your local pool chemical supplier can test the water and make recommendations about chemicals to use to balance the water. Then shock and use the algecide weekly or sooner if more algae shows up. The algae really uses up the chlorine so it is important to keep a continuous supply of chlorine going into the pool.

shock is good and make sure you have proper levels from your test kit and when you filter when cleaning , you are just keeping the alge in the filter its traped and it goes back into the pool , run it to the bypass the filter and clean after shocking it put in twice the amount and do it at night so it can do its deed and then clean the next day,, ask a pool company for any latest pool chemicals out their too

You've got green algae. First you need to kill the algae either by shocking with chlorine or using an algaecide. Let it circulate, then filter, filter, filter and vacuum and brush off what the vacuum didn't get. ...and filter, filter, filter.

Also check you pool pH. If you can keep your pool in the safe zone for pH and chlorine (or whatever you are using) then the algae will be less likely to show.........but it does seem to appear late summer no matter how careful you are.

From what I study it would not appear as if he's drawn to her. LIke he would not decide to get right into a relationship on the 2nd.. I say merely enable it circulate and circulate on with your existence. If that is meant to be it's going to locate that is way and be..
