What to do if you have green algae in your 16X32 saltwater pool?

A salt water system creates chlorine, which, in theory, should prevent algae growth. Chlorine levels must be tested at least once a week. During the hottest part of the summer, levels should be between 4 and 5 ppm. Yet algae can survive in these high levels of chlorine if there are phosphates in the water. Think of phosphates as a food source for algae. As long as they are well fed, they can survive high chlorine levels. Most pool stores can test for presence of phosphates. They will probably advise you to first treat your pool with an algaecide, then treat the phosphates.
