Do you have a CC reading? I will share that for the last 2 years, no more than once during the swim season, I get a green pool but ALL my numbers look good, including CC, and I don't lose chlorine overnight. Unsure why. What has saved me is a little bit of polyquat algaecide, and overnight pool is clear.

yes i did thx!

Just must have been a stubborn strain. took a week and I did add the algicide which i usually only add to winterize. I also think weeks of 90+ degrees didn't help

thx again!
