    will post numbers asap.

    Can tell you that the chlorine stays for a while and don't have to top up often.

    PH is staying high and ph down chemical is moderatley helping.

    Thanks

    I'm sure we can help you clear it up, but we need test results from a drop-based kit (not strips) for Cl, pH, alk, and CYA. Also, what form of chlorine are you using?

    The trick to clearing it up is going to be to raise your Cl to shock level (what that level is will be determined by your CYA level) and hold it there until the algae dies, which will mean testing for Cl and adding more to get back to shock level at least 2-3 times a day. Once the algae dies, your filter will take it out--may take a few days with the filter running 24/7, but it will clear up.
