How do you get alge out salt systems pools?

Algae is algae. It grows in all swimming pool water - indoor, outdoor and it does not matter what type of filter or how the pool water is chlorinated or brominated. All pools have salt in the water since liquid bleach is made from salt and calcium hypochlorite contains salt. Therefore all pools have salt. Just as all pools have algae. Algae is a living plant that takes in nutrients. Therefore in order to control algae something that prevents it from taking in nutrients will control its growth. The simplest way is to use a clarifier on a weekly basis in a indoor or outdoor residential pool or daily on a public swimming pool. Swimming pool chemicals are a buyer beware market. Purchase a brand from a professional pool store or supplier if possible. Even then you do not know if the chemical purchased will do what the directions say it will. Use an algaecide and a water clarifier weekly maintain the free chlorine around 1 ppm (not over 1 ppm or toxic chlorine by products will be formed and never shock dose or add a lot of chlorine since toxic chlorine by products will be formed. Use a quality algaecide and superior water clarifier

Can cyanuric acid be administered to a pool with active algae?

If the pool already has even a small amount (say, 20 ppm) of Cyanuric Acid (CYA) in it, then if you are fighting algae you should not add more CYA (until you have gotten rid of the algae) since it reduces chlorine effectiveness. If you have no CYA in the pool at all, then it is better for you to just add unstabilized chlorine to fight the algae, but it will be consumed quickly and you will need to replenish it. If you can only add the chlorine in the morning, then add some CYA to have at least some to prevent rapid loss of chlorine from the UV in sunlight. The easiest way to add chlorine and CYA at the same time is to use Dichlor, but don't overdo it. See http://www.troublefreepool.com and the Pool School link at that site for more details on defeating algae and how to shock your pool.
