Pool Green Vinyl Liner

[aylad]

Just to answer your other questions....yes, you have the abbreviations right. Alk levels in a vinyl pool should be 80-120, but as long as it's under 180 or so you can live with it. I'd call 110 perfect, but you're fine at 130, too. Ph ranges are 7.2-7.8, so you're okay for now but watch that it doesn't rise too much over that. If it does, use muriatic acid to bring it back down.

Glad the problem cleared up for you!

Glad your pool looks good. One caution for you, though. You said that your cya (stabilizer) level is 50, but you are still using pucks in the skimmer. Those pucks will cause your cya to continue to rise. We usually recommend 30-50 for the cya level. If yours gets higher, you'll have to compensate by keeping your chlorine level higher or you'll likely have algae problems. Take a look at the "best guess" chart in the thread at the top of the chlorine forum.
