He's not a current customer and has been trying to clear the pool himself. The filter will only run about an hour before it needs to be backwashed because the water is so thick with algae. He's already dropped 17# of shock and it's still unable to get a Chlorine residual. It's not unusual to expect to go through as much as 50# of chlorine before you kill everything in the water and can start really trying to get rid of the now dead stuff floating around. He basically has two options to choose from. He can continue to chemically treat the water on a daily or more basis until he can maintain chemical balance, and then call us to floc the pool and drain the nasty stuff to waste, or he can bite the bullet and have us come drain and clean the pool. Draining and cleaning the pool with a powerwasher is going to be more expensive obviously, but he can be swimming this weekend and not have to deal with trying to clean the pool in addition to his regular full time job. As always, if you have any questions, or you need any of our services, like drain and cleans, or vacuum to waste with a flocculant like "Down and Out", give us a call at 214-989-3888.
