I have only owned a real pool for a year. Have an above ground 24 ft pool. opened it after the winter and found slight green. Now it is cloudy but clean. Have read that ph needs to be higher in order to make it clear. Using my AquaCheck strips my ph is at 6.8, my free chlorine is at .3 - .5 ppm , Alkalinity is 80 ppm and my stabilizer is at 30 ppm.

Should I continue testing with the strips or change to a Taylor test kit ?
