First please post a complete set of test numbers. You need a DROPS-BASED test kit - since you have chlorine that needs to be high to kill the algae - one that has an FAS-DPD chlorine test will be the best. Or you can purchase a 6-way test kit at Wal-Mart - you would need to dilute your pool water with distilled water to test above 5ppm.

The "guess"-strips will not be accurate enough for us to give you accurate advice.

We need to know:

FC (free chlorine)
TC (total chlorine)
PH
TA (Total Alk)
CH (Calcium Hardness)
CYA

We need the actual numbers - not "adequate/good/in range/a little low...."
