Moose,

Once you have tested your water - please post your numbers

FC (free Chlorine)
TC (total Chlorine)
PH
ALK
CA (Calcium)
CYA (stablizer)

Also include ALL the chemicals you have been adding. We can then help you get to a clear blue pool

Another newbie to the site here.

Every link I find for the bleach Calculator is no good. I just found this great web site, and am having algea problems also. I am reading, and gathering info to post to see if I can get it under control..

TIA
Les

Here is my calculator. It is an excel file. When you open it, you will have to unzip it.
Keep in mind the numbers are for my pool.
so just change the volume to match your pool size and then the chlorine amounts will automatically adjust for your pool size. Also if you are using a lower conc of bleach, adjust that too.
