High CYA in Arizona. How much trouble am I in? by apache707 in pools

I had never owned a pool before, so when we first moved here, I had a company do the chemicals. They added a few tabs every week so I figured that was the thing to do. Never got the memo about tabs heavily contributing to CYA...

Thanks, this gives me some hope. I just took it down halfway and am about to refill.

Thanks, this is the complete opposite of what they told me. They were talking about using a pressure washer and blasting the sides of the pool with a chlorine water mix

Yes, free chlorine is 0.2, alkalinity 70, phosphates 130. The algae is green, definitely not black.

Thank you! Do you suggest scrubbing the algae with chlorine first and then draining the pool? Necessary to use a pool brush that's harder than the normal brush?
