Algae present? Foliage found in water? Water loss present?
A phosphate treatment ($85) will help reduce dissolved organics (100-1000ppb) by coagulating organics for 7-10 days allowing collection to occur on the filter. A filter cleaning is required after treatment., An enzyme treatment would reduce dissolved organics additionally through enzyme breakdown and oxidization ($65), Increasing chlorine, adjusting chemicals to proper levels, and doing enzyme and phosphate treatments along with 2 separate filter cleanings, one before treatments and one after will help reduce or eliminate algae ($375) No
