Algae Problem with Cloudy Water

[BigDave]

Time for more bleach. When do you expect the k-2006?

Hasn't even shipped yet. I'll dump 3 gallons in now then 5 at dusk for the night.

Pool has been great. Nice and clear. Still waiting for the kit but it has been shipped. I've checked the TC the last two nights and then again both mornings and it is the same each time, so it seems to be holding. I also have been running the SWCG and have turned it off both nights along with turning off the filter and pump.

When I look at the pool in the morning it is clear as could be then I start the pump early in the morning. After a few hours I get some build up in the same areas all the time which looks like a brownish/yellowish something. I'm not sure after turning on the pump, stuff is being blown back into the pool after sitting all night. I'm not sure what it is but it always seems to happen after the pump starts running for the day. Any ideas? Will post full tests when I receive the kit.

texture, color and feel should ID the brown stuff -- for example, gritty may be sand; grayish tan, extremely fine and hard to touch is probably dead algae.

Pool has been looking absolutely stunning. Did some quick tests with the new kit.

I did the FC yesterday and had a reading somewhere between 15-20 ppm and 0 on the CC. Still hovering around that today so I lowered the output on the SWCG a little.

pH: 7.7 noticed in the video they had 2 rows of pink and my kit has one so sort of a guesstimate.
TA: 120? turned pink and stopped. Watch video and seemed he put a drop or 2 more to make sure which would raise it a little.

Glad it worked out for you -- hope things are still going well with your pool.
