Carl,

I'm not insulted. Thanks for the advice. So here's my question - what they heck should I do? I've got high Ph, and I'm adding 1-2 quarts per week, and I can barely get it below 8ppm. Keep adding it? Add more?

And what do I do about the algae? Bleach? How much? Brush the pool? Timing with adding acid (assuming I need to)? How long should I run the pump afterwards?

And what do I do about my SWG, which seems to be working way, way too hard? The guy did the salt test in front of me, so I don't dispute the reading...my poolpilot is way off (300-400ppm). Should I recalibrate?

I really am not an idiot, but I don't want to damage my pool, and I know there are things you can add that you can never take away aside from draining part/all of your pool. So how about a punch list, please?

Thanks
