Is it my imagination....

I test cl and ph everyday. The other tests once every few weeks or so.

It is absolutely true! You get behind in testing, and your pool sneaks up on you and BAM! the algae bloom from hell! Before I was tuned into this board, we killed algae that we had, but could have done it a lot cheaper and much more effectively. Now, I have Ben's kit coming and I check my pH and Cl everyday. So far, I've used 2 gallons of chlorine in 2 weeks, and the pool looks wonderful! Before, we were using 2.5 gallons a week doing the once a week pool store recommended shock.

I told my husband with my new knowledge and testing diligence, the pool will hardly be green. He doesn't believe me...yet
