The Algae is dead, but still in the water, it is too small for the filter to filter out. You will need to purchase a product called flock. Alum is the best. don't bother with the blue water clarifier stuff, its just not strong enough for that much alage. the you will put your filter on recirculate, add the alum by broadcasting (throwing randomly) into the pool, let run for 2 hours, then turn the pump off for a day or 2, all of the alage will clump together and collect on the botom leaving the water crystal clear.

Now this is the part that is the pain. you must vacume the sedement from the botom to waste. this will lower your water level, so you will need to add water which will dilute your clorine and stablizer levels.

while your pump is not running you must keep adding shock to keep the free clorine level up, or you will be back at step 1.

once you finish vacuming to waste, re-adjust your pH and stablizer levels and you will be good to go.

consentrate on keeping your clorine level high until you can get the stablizer back up.

Remember it can take up to a week for stablizer to disolve in your filter, don't backwash until it is disolved, or you loose it all. and don't vac the alum mess to filter you will ruin your sand, vac to waste.

How do you replace rear shock absorbers on a 2004 Nissan Altima?

1) Jack the car and secure with jack stands. 2) Remove the tire. 3) Remove the two nuts that are on the top of the shock. This secures a plate that holds the top of the shock. 4) Remove the bolt on the bottom of the shock. Note: one side of the bolt is welded to the shock and does not have to be held. Removing this bolt is challenging. 5) Compress the the shock to remove. 6) Transfer plate and rubber sleeve to new shock. When removing the top nut on shock, secure the very top of the shock with vise grips. 7) Make sure to remove device that keeps the shock compressed. 8) Compress shock to reinstall. Install top plate to align with bolts. As the shock is decompressing, use screw driver to hold in position to insert bolt on the bottom of shock. 9) Install nuts on top of the shock and tighten. 10) Install bolt on the bottom of shock and tighten.

The shock will work better if the pH was within the correct range, but get the shock in asap, then do the pH.
