I think the only way to cover it without growing an algae farm is blacking it out. Finding a tarp or something that doesn't allow any light through would keep the algae down. Since algae is photosynthetic, it needs light to thrive. That is why ponds in the shade usually have LESS algae than those in full sun. I know I see a HUGE difference between my animals waterbuckets inside the barn and outside.rivka said:I should have been more detailed..sorry about that...
It is an in ground pool. I pay to have the chem work done weekly as I was spending more on trying to get it right than just having it done.
My costs are the running the pool pump. I even have an energy efficient one.
I guess what I am really asking,, is there a way to cover a pool without having to run pump, yet it not turn into an algea pit.
