How much to reduce our rent for each day our pool's green?
How much to reduce our rent for each day our pool's green?
OH took his eye off the ball and we now have a bright green pool and our first guests of the year arriving Saturday. They are driving down and I know one of the first things they are going to want to do is swim.
Hoping for the best, but planning for the worst, if he can't get it back to crystal clear in 2 1/2 days, what do you suggest I take off their rental for each day they can't use the pool?
Sadly they are only staying a week. My weekly rental is 940 euros.

Never try to out-stubborn your guests.

I did search but the term just gave literature and phrases, at no point did it link to a product. This is also a term I have not seen before despite many years in the pool industry. It adds hardness to the water courtesy of the calcium so if you have hard water caution is advised.
The product is calcium hypochlorite which is the strongest form of dry chlorine. An important point is Never mix this with other forms of chlorine as it can explode.
The same effect can be achieved with liquid chlorine ( eau de Javel). It is the process of raising the chlorine level by the addition of any form of chlorine to choc the pool. This form is unstabilised as is eau de Javel. Other forms of chlorine ( choc, lent, multi action) contain stabiliser and can often make the situation worse.
Testing for CYA stabiliser is more important than pH.

Phosphate rich water, poor filtration, too high CYA stabiliser level?

SPJ, mine hasn't been looked at for 10 months due to circumstances. No chlorine, no pump and cover on until 17th of June. clear water, just needed a vacuum and connection of pump and dosing unit.
Your water must be nutrient rich in algae terms. Worth checking phosphate levels and whether the filtration is good enough, maybe add some seaKlear or jolly gel.

Thanks for the info Teapot. I'll tell His Lordship. This is very much his domain.
I don't know whether the fact that we have a very large silk tree nearby which sheds it's tiny leaves all the time and that the prevailing wind blows them in the direction of the pool makes a difference.
One day, if finances ever permit, he's talking about getting one of these permanent hooped slide-back covers to help keep the pool free of leaves.
