Post some current water testing results from a drops based kit and then somebody here can take a look and offer some advice. You are so smart coming here first before going to the pool store for advice!

Re: First algea in new pool/spa
My kit ran out two weeks ago and I haven't bought another (on my to-do list but I was in the hospital...) But I did write down my results back then if it helps:
CYA 60
Tot Chlorine: 1.7 (and that was when I bumped up the salt-chlorinator to 90% from the 75% it had been at)
Free Chlorine: 1.7
Ph 8.4: (I added 5 pounds of Lo and Slo to the pool after that)
Minerals 2500
Total Hardness 388
Is there anything else anyone might need. And, in the meantime, should I scrub or vaccum off the algea off the spa? (I have zero experience with this now). Oh, and the water is crystal clear in both pool and spa, if that makes a difference.
