Answer 1

I had the same problem last year.

The pump they give you is not good enough.

Buy a bigger one.

Answer 2

your chlorine could be a little higher, depending on if anybody in your house has sensitive skin. the pH level should be lower because the water in your pool now would be really dangerous to swim in. can help you on your bromine level. not sure what to do there. if you keep the cover on your pool at night and when your not using it, that could prevent the algae and clean the whole pool regularly.

Answer 3

How long has the water been in the pool?
