1. The reading at the cartridge filter's pressure gauge was relatively high. (40lbs). Cartridge filters should be cleaned when the pressure gauge reads 8 lbs or more above the clean, starting pressure (after cleaning or replacing cartridge). A qualified person should clean or replace cartridge(s) as necessary, and make repairs if necessary.
2. Leaks or evidence of leaks were found at the filter gasket, O-ring. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.

Algae was present on the pool surface. It's best to prevent algae from growing in the first place, but once it does, typical remedies include:
Balancing the water, especially the pH.
Checking the filter system and maintaining if necessary (backwash or replace medium, clean or replace cartridge, etc.)
Running the filter system continuously until the water clears
"Shocking" the pool with hypochlorite
Brushing the walls and floor of the pool
Draining the pool (in extreme cases)
Applying an algaecide
The presence of algae may indicate lack of chlorine or filter system needs maintaining. or both. Recommend consulting with a pool specialist if needed. For more information, visit:
