I've got my pool under control from what was thought to be algae. THANK YOU TO TFP FOR HELPING WITH THAT!!!!
I haven't tested anything other than FC during that time period. It's been a good solid week since things have been under control, so I tested a few other things. Here are the results:
FC: 5.5 (a little on the high side, SWG is running for 5 hours).
pH: 7.5
TA: 130
CYA: 40 (added the stuff in the sock, and will test again a few days)
CH: haven't tested that since beginning of green stuff problems, but it was consistently very low, like in the 30-40 range (from pool store calculations).
In pool school, it mentions that it's not necessarily a bad thing for TA to be high, but this is much higher than the normal ranges for SWG pools. It's an above ground, intek, out of the box style pool. Should I be concerned with this? (and/or CH for that matter?)
