    Please post a full set of tests results for FC, TC, pH, TA, CH, CYA, how may gallons is your pool and what it's made out of (plaster, fiberglass, vinyl).
    It would also be helpful if you could list all the "clarifiers, super shock treatment, and algae removers" that you have dumped into the water along with their ingredients, if possible, and your normal pool chemicals that you have added so the good folk on this forum can get a handle on what is going on in your pool.
    Do not rely on test strips for the above readings. Please either use a drop based kit or get the testing done at a pool store that does not use strips.

    My pool is above ground 7500 gallon, vinyl liner. I am getting the water testing again at a store, so I will post the results for you this evening or tomorrow morning. I mainly used Blue Shield, liquid Shock, Sani-Shock 2, and the Blue Shield Algae Remover, and Blue Shield Clarifier. To which nothing worked so far. My test strips showed to be fine, and I took it to one store last week, where they did testing, and it was fine as well. I did notice an above normal amount of algae when I opened the pool, so I'm wondering if its just dead algae that the pool filter is not capturing..... Nonetheless, I will have the test results for you this evening. Thanks!
