Removing Algae From a Swimming Pool

Video Transcript

"If you've noticed yesterday when we got to the pool, it was green and had algae in it. And today its clear. I tested the chemicals, which was the ph and the chlorine. That's all I test at this moment. We get the ph low so that the chlorine can work properly. And when you've got your chlorine working properly, you shock the pool, and I showed you the shock yesterday. The Pool Bright Rapid Shock. Which is a dichloro shock. That is ph neutral. I put two bags in the pool. It is one bag, one sixteen ounce bag per ten thousand gallons of water. This pool holds about seventeen thousand eight hundred gallons. I added two bags. And we brushed the pool down. Let it sit for twenty-four hours. And the shock killed the algae and took it to the bottom. That's what we see on the floor of the pool at the moment. But we are vacuuming to the filter so that we can get it out of the pool. Algae is bad. Sometimes can be hard to get rid of. But if you will just take the time and have the patience to do it, you can get rid of it. If it's a problem obviously you are not doing the proper care."
