Hi again. I refilled the pool . I had only dumped about 1/4 of it. Water temp is cooler, but still cloudy, but not as cloudy. I can see the bottom of the pool now. It is blue with milky color? I noticed brown stuff as I said on the bottom in places. I vacuumed it up, and came back out later and more is there, I vacuumed that too. The pump runs 24 /7. New filter. Chlorine level is still about 25. And holding. What else can be wrong? Is that brown stuff alegea? Why is the clorox not killing it if it is algea, and the chlorine level still so high?

Ok, now for the PH. Most said do not bother with it until I get algea/chlorine problem fixed. I did the five way tester. The one where you add the pool water and then the drops. The color comes up really light, but then turns to purple after a few seconds. So that is going from low to high on the numerical scale. From add soda ash to add acid. ?????? How can that be. Is there a time to tell the number, color? Right after dropping in the drops? Or wait a few seconds for color to change?

Thanks again everyone. If that brown is not algea, I will wait for chlorine to go to safe swimming level and then I am jumping in. LOL.
