Mustard Algae

Added more bleach today. In the last week I have put in 58 gallons of 6% bleach. Water is crystal clear but still a few brown spots. Hopefully will have the reagents by Tuesday so I can check the levels. I also added a box of borax since the ph was only 7.2 Never thought I would be putting that much bleach in my pool. But I'm sure it is a lot cheaper than what the pool stores would charge for all the chemicals they would try to sell me.

Reagents did not arrive today, hopefully it will be here tomorrow. I added 7 jugs of the 6% 182oz. bleach last night and 5 this am even though I couldn't test the level. This evening there were 5-6 brown spots (dime to quarter size) in the bottom of the pool. Water is crystal clear. Should I add the same amount tonight? No fading of the liner so far. Hopefully there won't be any. But, I can live with a faded liner as long as there is no algae.
