Hi, Sandy,

Bring your pH down. Sooner rather than later. I think you'll find it will rise on it's own with that new gunite pool...maybe for a few months. I'd shoot for 7.2

That greenish cast in your water might be algae. If it looks greener tomorrow, you'll definitely need to shock. I would put in a gallon of bleach today(should get you to 4ppm) or, if you decide to shock now, 4.5 gallons should get you close to 15ppm.

Thirdly, I would get some baking soda (alkalinity up) at the grocery store and raise your Alk to about 100 or so.....15lbs is convenient (5lb bags) and should get you around 110.

Keep a close eye on your pH.....don't let it get above 7.8 and a little lower would be better.
