the algae questionI have been wondering about the type of algaecides to use in a salt pool. In regular chlorine pools with algae, I use yellowtrine if the algae is mustard, or green, but in a salt pool I believe sodium bromide can change chlorine that is salt generated into bromine. I have no idea how much bromide can allow this to happen but I am not trying it. I have a few salt pools on my route (I own my own service business) and one has mustard algae so every week I shock it with cal hypo at a rate of 1.5lbs. per 10,000 gals and brush the pool also. another salt pool has green algae only in the trough and I also use cal hypo there . I have not been very lucky with the green algae and am not sure about copper based algaecides in salt. Iv'e used it in regular pools though with a good degree of sucess, but am not a huge fan of copper. any suggestions? Anyone?

Look on your shock package. It will say how long to wait. I believe the brand I use you have to wait 48 hours. Have you cleaned the filter lately? 2 or 3 hrs run time on the filter is not enough.

I sprayed a wasp killing spray in the pool to kill wasp. How long do I have to wait to swim in the pool?

It is not that you have to wait for it to desolve, those were poisonous chemicals that could harm you. If it is a mobile pool drain it and then fill it up again. The same thing with in ground pools or above ground.
