I own a backyard inground pool 7x3 meters, which was installed a year back. Lately, it is getting a lot of green algal blooms along the walls and floor of my pool. I am thinking of a shock for my pools on a weekly basis. I found different sites, suggesting the need to shock the pools on a regular basis.
What concerns me is that my aviary which is beside the pool. Will shocking the pool using chlorine have an adverse effect on my birds because there are blogs by swimming pool installation massachusetts which say chlorine is a harmful chemical. Can someone suggest few safe options which would be safe for my birds? Your thoughts on salt water, ozone, bromine or MPS as alternatives? All suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.
