    We use the HTC OTO/phenol red kit and our pool is a 30,000 volume pool-(my husband just told me that). I may have gotten that wrong before. Will my water really turn orange?? Thanks for your help

    Your pool water won't turn orange. He was talking about the test sample!

    Dead algae may be bluish gray or brownish before the filter removes it.

    The pool dimensions on my profile are wrong. How do I change this? --(9x30 inground pool ~10 gal, sand filter, skimmer tabs)~~ Our pool is 30,000 gal and is 16 ft wide 36 ft long.
