is it a chlorine pool or salt? Mine is a chlorine pool and I fought algae for years on one end thinking it was circulation. Took my water in for testing to the dealer and other local pool dealers and no one could figure out the problem. I fought this problem for 5 years and learned goggle is my friend. You need to buy yourself some phosphate remover. Phosphate is what algae feeds on.

You learned the lesson that no pool store will ever tell you.


Use Orenda Tech PR-10,000, with a small amount of copper based algaecide and a good shock treatment and you're good to go.

Also there is a product called Revive that is a god send, LINK


but for the OP, spend $13 on one of these first and clear all of your lines by hooking it up to a water hose, jamming it as far as you can into the pipes and turn the water on and let the pressure build.


Also, plan on buying new cartridges for the filter soon.
