    Don't think this is algae

    Pool has been off for three days due to a power outage and I went out and looked at the pool today and it still looks good but on the top of the water were several groups of egg type clusters floating around. Does anyone know what they are and is it safe to turn pool back on?

    when i used my own kit last night the cl and fc were not readable the color was orange, but i am assuming (barely) that this is because I have shocked it so much in the past three days. this morning it was still orange. and my ph was on the add soda ash side....
