Hey I just want to say thanks for your videos. I wouldn't be able to care for my pool by myself if it weren't for the content you put out (and TFP forums!). It's appreciated.
I am treating my pool for yellow algae. So I’ve brushed the walls and floor very well and my pool is 30,000 gallons. I used the yellow treat and used three cap full as per the directions. One cap per each 10,000 gallons and so I also shocked the pool with three gallons of liquid pool chlorine. This was all done right before sun down. Now my question is how long should I wait before swimming?
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To - SPL The pool looks awesome today. The chlorine level is still elevated but that’s cool. Do you feel I should sanitize all my equipment as well? I was told that if I reuse my equipment and don’t sanitize it then I would be contaminating the pool with the yellow algae again. I do run my pool filter on low 24/7 so how this happened I’m not sure.
Do I have to sanitize all my pool equipment ( Hose,brush ect ) after treating the pool for yellow algae? I was told if you don’t this will re introduce the algae back into the pool.
Wow you’re a wealth of information thank you!!!
Thank you for this video! Do you have to change the sand in a sand filter after a black algae outbreak?
I don't think that is needed. It only lives on surfaces and I don't think it can live in sand.

Thanks for the positive feedback! 👍
By any chance can you do a review on the Jandy RayVac?
One of these days. If you only knew the pile of videos I have sitting on my HD...

Until the pool looks clear. Even if the chlorine level is still high it is safe at 10 ppm.

Maybe only with black algae.
Swimming Pool Tips, Reviews & How To - SPL Thank you.
What's the second go to for black algae? Algi ban isn't something I can get locally. Would yellowtrine work for stubborn black algae?
Nothing really will work on a bad case of Black Algae except the Trichlor Granular. You can order it online on sites like eBay.
My HASA Algi Ban arrived the other day. My pool NEEDS new plaster.
