It's a list of all the people and things I hate so much I want to hit them in the face with a shovel.. Concept coming from the Marian Keyes novel, The Mystery of Mercy Close (2012).
Use chlorine as your go-to algae killer. When your pool water is green or contains visible algae clumps, your pool does not have enough chlorine. Shocking the pool with a large dose of chlorine is the most effective way to kill the existing algae and bring your pool back to sanitary conditions.
Green algae (varies in color from blue-green to yellow-green to dark-green) can be free floating in the water (turning the water a hazy-green) or can be wall-clinging (patches of green). Green algae can be treated fairly simply with the right amount of brushing, shocking, and algaecide.
