Thanks for the video Penny. Great info on the saltwater shock.
Glad it was helpful!
I have the same pool but a little smaller and its also salt water. I had an algae problem as well. I noticed that my sand filter was recirculating algae back into the pool. My easy fix was I zip tied a white sock or i doubled up on stockings to the outlet jet and it caught the recirculating algae and debris, and haven't had a problem since. Good informative video
Thanks for your suggestion!
I have an indoor pool and 99% time it is sparkling clear clean water. Just this one time we ended up with algae, which is clear now , except for 1% of algae dust at the bottom of the pool. I have tried the stocking as shown in this video with little results.
I hope your comment will solve my problem.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Penny for posting your video.
No problem. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
Fellow jersyan here, luv your set up with the plants
Thank you!
In SoCal I took care of my own in-ground pool for 20 years. Now I’ve moved to a colder climate & got an aboveground pool. Lots less water to deal with. This much I learned from my local pool supply experts:
Shock your pool on a weekly basis! Can’t stress that enuf. Do it & u can kiss goodbye most pool water issues. I did two full bags of good quality shock for 20,000 gallon pool every week. When I didn’t do it, algae appeared. Yes, I had to deal with black algae once because the chlorine levels were too low! (I had put my husband in charge, big mistake!). For less water volume-one bag, or even half a bag of shock on a weekly basis is plenty. I will switch to saltwater system for my new above ground pool-but I will still shock my 3,000 gallon pool once a week! Not even gonna chance it. Happy swimming to all!
(BTW, if u ever get black algae u can probably just throw away a vinyl pool-for plaster walls the black algae will disappear only with a muriatic acid wash-very dangerous fumes, wear a mask, plus eye and skin protection.)
Great advice! I have also found that shocking my pool is the beat way to keep algae and bacteria at bay. Thanks for the comment. Please like and subscribe!
We just bought the same pool
Most people are under a misconception…salt water pools DO contain chlorine.
Salt gets converted to chlorine by a process known as “electrolysis”.
Long term… chlorine pools are cheaper to maintain, and don’t cause the corrosion damage that salt water pools cause.
Hi this information is very important. I also have a 18 by 48 Coleman above ground pool. This will be the first year that I will be keeping the water in the pool all winter. I am trying to find a way to clean it next year.
I also live in NJ. Quick question; It will be better for me to empty the pool or leave some water in it? I’m trying to find a easy way out for me.
Thank you

I think issue is your filter system best one is sand system
@rhdcl7 euro/r …..I agree! Stay tuned for a new video soon on an upgraded filter system and how we installed it. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to like and subscribe!
Thanks for sharing, opening my pool soon but it looks like this under the cover already 🥺🚨New sub alert 🚨
Good luck and thanks for the comment

Use a mr.cleaner sponge the wite one and put it in your filter if you had green algae and leave it for the night and the morning your pool look clear try it out there is noting to loose
@@manuelibrahim3543 thank you for your advice. I will definitely try that next time. Also, thank you for taking the time to watch my video. Please subscribe.
Can you do a video on your salt water pump . I just bought the same pool and would like to make it salt water
@bill Hayden I do have another video on my RUclips channel that does describe the salt water pump a little bit more. I am going to make another video soon because we did upgrade our pump so please follow and subscribe and that way you will get up-to-date information. Thanks for watching the video.

Hi good morning thanks for the video After a month using salt water system I saw some dark lines in the button of my pool when I brush it is green so my question is it is normal o my salt system is not working good ?
Milthon Ordonez’ Thanks for following me and watching my video. Your salt water is working fine, however it sounds like you have algae at the bottom of your pool. You may have to shock it more than once to get rid of the green and then siphon it out with a hose. Sometimes too much shock ends up at the bottom of your pool and you have to get it out with some kind of vacuum or hose and then just fill up the water again. Hope that helps. Don’t forget to follow and subscribe to me on RUclips, Instagram and Facebook. Thanks so much.
Dark lines can be a sign of Black Algae... the worst algae to have...begin with a good scrubbing of the pool (walls and floor)... then SHOCK...wait 48hrs (while filter is running)...scrub again.. SHOCK, and now vaccum...if it hasn't disappeared...scrub, vacuum, and shock again. This could take up to a week to get rid of. That was my only time ever having black algae in my above ground pool. (7yrs ago)...Penny is correct, in her methods. Hope that helps; Cheers
Heads up....next time you shock of place any crystals or powder into your pool.... dissolve it first into a bucket of water; then pour it into your pool. Game changer! Cheers
TheLLSMUVG thanks for following me. Also, thanks for the suggestion about the shock! Can’t wait to try it. Please subscribe and follow me on IG and FB on Paradiseonapenny! Thank you!
Help! I have a 33,000 gallon above ground pool, algae is awful, I bought a salt water system, but I don’t know what I should do about the algae beforehand, should I shock it with regular chlorine shock 1st??? Or should I put salt in the water and use the saltwater generator???
Hi! I’m sorry this is happening to you. This is what I would do. I would put salt water in it and use the saltwater generator to generate it. At the same time put double the amount of shock in that way it also goes through the salt water generator. This should help with the algae the most. Good luck and thank you for watching the video.

Use a mr.clean sponge the white one and put in your filter and leave it for the night and filter on in you morning your green algae will be gone and your sponge will be green then just give it a try
The pool getting that bad had ZERO to do with salt.
1) Never, ever use any "clarifier". There is no magic product to undo poor setup/maintenance and what they fix temporarily makes it worse after.
2) That filter is worthless. Seriously, its total garbage. Its the wrong size and type entirely.
3) The only reason to use salt is to combine it with a salt water generator. The generator creates chlorine from the salt and makes maintenance much easier. Don't bother with salt without a chlorine generator.
4) Do you even measure phosphates or CYA (cyanuric acid) or PH? If you have too much CYA, nothing will sanitize your pool... literally nothing. Phosphates are the food for algae. Even a super-chlorinated pool cant overcome phosphate levels that are too high. Since you have a worthless filter, you likely have high TDS (total dissolved solids) and high phosphate levels. If you add high CYA, you can buy all the products you want and your pool will just get worse. The only solution is drain it, clean it, and fill again.
Seriously, you should only need bleach, muriatic acid and test strips (aquacheck) and test and adjust often. The water must be balanced and it takes adjustments every couple of days. On top of that you need a real pool filter. A sand filter is decent, not too expensive, and is forgiving. A DE cartridge filter is best, but not cheap. That filter you should toss.. did I say it? Yes, its worthless.
Converting to salt and using a chlorine generator makes maintenance easy.... you test every couple of weeks, or after bad weather. Adjustments are usually minor.
I would never tolerate a pool getting that nasty and your pool must be frustrating to maintain.
Actually my pool is pretty easy to maintain. Thank you for your comments
Is it worth even getting it to be salt?
Love my salt water pool
