I understand that. Currently in a shock cycle as I just reopened to a clear pool. I don't have a full test kit either, only red/yellow.

This post was more mainly to double check that this pool package we had installed is adequate.. meaning not over/under powered. After vacuuming dead algae off the bottom of the pool last year, only to see it blowing straight back in from the return port, I worry that the filter is either too small, or the pump to large. Or if there is too little/much sand in said filter. Don't believe the pump is 2 stage-able so im just trying to cross things off in my mind to make sure chemicals are the only thing I need to worry about this season.
