The Intellichlor manual lists all of these values for you on page 10.

I don't think you really need to worry about TDS, nitrates, phosphates.

So you'll need about 188lbs (4-5 40# bags) more salt... Add it slowly, not all at once. Also make sure the SWCG is OFF while adding salt and for about a day afterward. If you don't turn the cell off, the increased salinity can potentially damage the salt cell by allowing more current to flow through the plates than the system is designed for.

I agree with SunnyOptimism. With SWCG, higher CYA is usually better. My aquarite reccomends 80 and I keep it at 80-90. Yours recommends 50-80 and I'd go with 80 if I were you. That's about 5# of CYA granules. Add this slowly through the skimmer. Maybe 1# a day and retest. CYA is easy to add but can only be removed through dilution.


As for the green algae. Don't bother turning on the SWCG until you've got it cleaned up. Shock with liquid chlorine. Do this before you adjust CYA. To shock with a CYA of 50 you need at LEAST 15ppm FC. You'd probably be fine taking it up to 20. Check and add chlorine a few times a day until it looks clear and you get 0-0.5 CC and you lose less than 1ppm FC from sundown to sunup (to take chlorine loss due to sun exposure out of the equation).

Here's the chart that tells you what levels of FC you use for shocking. http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/best...ine-chart.html It's based on your stabilizer (CYA) level.
