    Well, believe it or not, got off early today and decided to be by the pool with the bride and the darn algae is back. Yhay quick. Guess i will test everything again tonight. The chlorinator was flashing check cell and salt. Will pick up some acid tomorrow and clean the cell and put in a bag of salt.

    With a CYA level of 50+, you don't ever want the chlorine to get below 5 ppm or you'll be battling algae all summer.....

    Also might want to check the manual for your SWCG, because most of them want CYA levels around 80 ppm or so for the unit to function properly...
