This is really dependent on how many gallons of water your pool holds and the size of your pump. On average, you want to run the filter 6 to 8 hours a day to maintain proper filtration. If your filter has a 2-speed pump, then run your pump 24 hours a day on the slow speed. Continuously running the filter will actually save you money by reducing the amount of electricity used, as well as providing outstanding circulation.

Blonde hair turns green because of copper algaecide. Since the main ingredient is copper, too much of this product can stain your hair. Follow the directions on the back of the bottle for proper dosages. Try to use other algaecides that do not contain copper elements (unless necessary).

First check pH and take alkalinity levels, then adjust where needed. Next, brush the walls and bottom of your pool to get all of the algae suspended in your water. Shock your pool with the recommended dosage. Run your filter for at least 24 hours. Check baskets regularly and backwash when needed until pool clears up. As you chlorinate, the algae will drop to the bottom of your pool. Vacuum this waste to avoid clogging your filter. Follow up with a routine dose of chlorine.
