7.2 vs >8.2 Grrrrrrrrrrr

I am watching this thread devolve (yes, that's the word I meant) into issues that I think are peripheral to the problem. Chlorine kills algae

If you still have algae in your pool, you have not brought your chlorine levels high enougn, long enough to get rid of it.

The solution is to bring your Cl level up to about 30-35ppm in the evening and then test your Cl the next AM. Whatever drop has occurred is the result of killing organisms. Bring your Cl right back up to that 30-35 level immediately. Hold your Cl at that level until your pool is clear and then let it drift back down into a maintenance range of around 5-10ppm.

If this fails, (and I've yet to see it fail on this forum) then I think you could safely assume you have another issue. You cannot tiptoe up to your algae problem....you must kick it straight in the butt with chlorine and kick it long enough to get the desired effect....a clear pool.

PS - If it's not clear, I am in complete agreement with Brent, I just like to use big letters more than he does.
