Send us Fan Mail Frank's reads his "If I Were An Algae" poem, and discusses what algae likes and how you can control it.poolwerx.comipssa.comWell if I were an algaeI would pick the perfect poolThere would be lots of sunshineAnd it would never be coolI’d like the warmer waterIt gives me special powersI can double in numbersEvery three to four hoursI’m a photosynthesizerIt takes sun to make me growAnd I eat carbon dioxideThat’s dissolved in H 2 OThis raises the pool P HAnd makes the water more baseThat makes chlorine even weakerAnd I can take up more spaceThere would be many dead spotsPlaces where water don’t moveI can relax in the sunAnd get into my grooveI also love pitted plasterAnd it is my safest placeEven if you brush it wellYou’ll probably still leave a traceI love me some organicsPhosphates are my favorite foodGives me chills for multiplyingIt puts me into the moodI am very much like a plantWhen you feed them compostSo dead leaves and plant stuffFor me is like taters and roastI really like low chlorineSeven point five percent of CYAKills me faster than I growSo it makes me go awayAnd please don’t add boratesIt makes multiplying real hardIt takes one third less chlorineTo put me in the grave yardAnd please do not use copperTo me it can be a real painAnd if water gets unbalancedIt might leave pretty green stainsSo let your water go badDon’t even bother to testLet the balance go crazyAnd give the chlorine a restWe all love beauties of natureSo think before you respondDon’t you want your pretty poolTo look like a green pond Please give us a 5 star rating and a review, and contact us at [email protected] for questions and show ideas.
