Howdy,

I have a 15'x48" Intex AG pool that the kids love. We set it up and used it for about 3 weeks when we got an algae bloom. I needed to take it down and get the ground level so we drained it and started over. Pool was great again for about a week and a half. Now its starting to turn green again.

I spent a few hours reading through a bunch of the posts and need to get a better test kit. The one I have uses drops but does not have anything to test CYA.

This evening I added a half a bag of HTH shock and swim and also muriatic acid to bring the ph down. It was really high (maxed out on the color chart). Tomorrow we plan on getting some bottles of bleach and using that to manage the chlorine.

I'll post the water test results when I get them tomorrow.
